Abstract

Thiophenol 1, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (3a), 4,5-diphenylimidazole-2-thione 3b, and 5-mercapto-2-aryl-1,2,4-s-triazoles (6a–b) are chemically oxidized using the acidified acetic acid method to the corresponding disulfides 2, 5a–b and 7a–b, respectively. The structures of the disulfides thus formed were established both chemically and by spectral analysis. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 16:399–402, 2000
