Abstract
Thiols (thiophenol, thiobenzoic acid and diethyldithiocarbamic acid) react with lead dioxide, chromium trioxide or lead tetraacetate to yield the corresponding metal salts and disulfides together with water or acetic acid. The oxidations of thiophenol by multivalent iodine compounds have been studied. In addition, the redox reaction between a lead salt of a thiol and a disulfide has been investigated and the following order of oxidizing power of the disulfides is indicated: tetra-ethylthiuram disulfide > bis(thiobenzoyl)disulfide > dibenzoyl disulfide > diphenyl disulfide.Keywords
