Substituted o-Aminophenols as Redox-Mediators in the Thiol Oxidation to Unsymmetrical Disulfides

A number of substituted o-aminophenols has been investigated as redox mediators of the thiol oxidation to disulfides. The electrooxidation of o-aminophenols leads to the corresponding o-iminobenzoquinones. These compounds react with thiols in the solution with a formation of disulfides. It was established that the use of 4,6-di-tert-butyl-2-(tert-butylamino)phenol as a redox mediator can reduce the overpotential of the thiol oxidation by 0.2-1.4 V depending on the nature of the coupling thiols. The unsymmetrical disulfides with alkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl substituents were obtained as the result of the indirect electrosynthesis.

A rapid, efficient and green procedure for transformation of alkyl halides/ tosylates to organochalcogens in water

A one-pot and efficient synthesis of dialkyl dichalcogenides (S, Se) in aqueous media under catalyst-free conditions using benzylic, allylic and primary halides with elemental sulfur and selenium has been developed. Also, this procedure was extended to preparation of trisulfides and triselenides from secondary and tertiary halides in same condition. In all cases, products can be obtained in good to excellent yield in short reactions time.

Dicationic Thiolate-Bridged Diruthenium Complexes for Catalytic Oxidation of Molecular Dihydrogen

Dicationic thiolate-bridged diruthenium complexes bearing sterically bulky alkane substituents on the thiolate ligands such as [Cp?Ru(μ-SiPr)2Ru(OH2)Cp?](OTf)2 have been found to work as effective catalysts toward oxidation of molecular dihydrogen into protons and electrons in protic solvents such as water and methanol. DFT calculations indicate that the sterically bulky alkane substituent in the complex plays an important role in facilitating the reaction step of the coordination of molecular dihydrogen.
