Unexpected reactivity of the burgess reagent with thiols: synthesis of symmetrical disulfides.
Reaction of the Burgess reagent with a series of aliphatic and aromatic thiols led to the corresponding symmetrical disulfides in high yields. No olefins were detected in the reactions of aliphatic thiols.
