The irradiation of organic disulfides in aldehyde solvents resulted in the reductive fission of the S-S linkage, giving an equimolar mixture of the corresponding thiol and thiol acylate in a good yield.The cyclic disulfides gave mono S-acylated dithiols.The reaction proceeded by means of the photo-initiated radical chain mechanism, and AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) effected the same reaction under thermal conditions.
