5-Arylidene-1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid derivatives, such as 1a and 1b, effectively oxidized both alkane- and benzenethiols to disulfides under neutral condition with concomitant formation of the dihydro compounds (2a) and (2b).Thiol adduct of the dihydro compound was prepared as a stable compound and successfully applied to the synthesis of unsymmetrical disulfide under mild condition in excellent yield.Mechanistic consideration for the oxidation was also described briefly.
