Alternating Current Electrolysis for the Electrocatalytic Synthesis of Mixed Disulfide via Sulfur-Sulfur Bond Metathesis towards Dynamic Disulfide Libraries.

A novel approach of electrolysis using alternating current was applied in the sulfur-sulfur bond metathesis of symmetrical disulfides towards unsymmetrical disulfides. As initially expected, a statistical distribution in disulfides was obtained. Furthermore, the influence of electrode polarisation by alternating current was investigated on a two-disulfide matrix.
