title: Efficient microwave-assisted synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides.
abstract: An efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfides exemplified for cysteines and penicillamines is described. The use of dimethyl sulfoxide mediated oxidation accelerated by microwave irradiation afforded various unsymmetrical disulfides in one step and in high yields.
