  • Metal-catalyzed oxidative coupling of thiols
    Patent number: 9834509
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for preparing disulfide compounds through oxidative coupling of thiol compounds. Thiols are oxidized to the corresponding disulfide compound in high yield in presence of a base and a metal salt. The method uses low catalyst loadings and provides organic disulfide compounds with little to no byproducts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2017
    Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.
    Inventors: Prakasa Rao Anantaneni, Ryan M. Harrington, Boyd Laurent
