31) General procedure for the synthesis of symmetrical disulfides: A mixture of thiols (1.0 mmol) and HX (0.2 mmol) in DMSO-CHCl3 (5 mL, 1:1, v/v)
was stirred at room temperature for respective time (Table 3). After the completion of the reaction, as monitored by TLC, the reaction mixture was
diluted with 10 mL of water and extracted with CHCl3 (3 15 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (2 × 10 mL), dried over
anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated in a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure. A reasonably pure product obtained was further purified by
recrystallization using hexane-CHCl3 mixture. The purity of the compound was confirmed by melting point and NMR measurements.
