Abstract
The 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine/Br2 complex has been found to be an efficient reagent for the selective oxidation of aliphatic and aromatic sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides and the oxidative coupling of thiols to disulfides. 1,1,3,3-Tetramethylguanidine can be recovered at the completion of the reaction and reused.
