  3. Abstract:
  4. A simple, rapid, and highly efficient method for the preparation of symmetrical aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic disulfides is reported. Addition of NBS to an alkyl- or arylthiol under catalyst-free conditions in dichloromethane solution produces the corresponding disulfides in nearly quantitative yields
