The product formed by the reaction of azibenzil (2-diazo-2-phenylacetophenone) with carbon disulfide has been shown to be 2-(α-phenylphenacylidene)-5,5-diphenyl-1,3-dithiolan-4-one (9).

The disulfide functionality exists in numerous organic compounds of interest in both chemistry and biology. In view of the fact that the disulfide function is highly susceptible to further oxidation by a broad range of agents, conducting a chemoselective oxidation without further oxidizing the disulfide group poses a synthetic challenge. Disclosed herein are the first examples of such an oxidation in which a series of aldehyde disulfides (1a-e) were converted to the corresponding symmetrical carboxylic acid disulfides (2a-e), utilizing sodium chlorite as the oxidant, and dimethyl sulfoxide as both a reaction solvent and an efficient hypochlorous acid scavenger.
