Triethylammonium halochromates, (C2H5)3NH+[CrO3X]- (X=F, Cl), reagents for efficient oxidation coupling of thiols to disulfides

Mohammad Kazem Mohammadi

Triethylammonium fluorochromate (TriEAFC) and Triethylammonium chlorochromate (TriEACC) are new efficient reagents, which are prepared easily and oxidized thiols to the corresponding disulfides swiftly. The reactions performcleanly and terminate simultaneously at the disulfide stage without any side products. Oxidizing of some thiols to their corresponding disulfides was studied in solution at roomtemperature. The easy procedure, simple work-up, short reaction times, and excellent yields are advantages of these reagents
