Novel method of activating thiols by their conversion into thionitrites with dinitrogen tetroxide

Abstract

The reaction of thiols with N2O4 in an inert organic solvent such as CCl4 or ether at low temperatures afforded aryl and alkyl thionitrites in quantitative yields; the thionitrites thus obtained reacted very readily with other thiols or sulphinic acids to give unsymmetrical disulphides or thiolsulphonates in nearly quantitative yields.
