Zusammenfassung

Die früher als «Cystinmonosulfoxyd» beschriebene Verbindung (Thiosulfinat II) verhält sich wie eine äquimolekulare Mischung von Cystin (I) und dem entsprechenden Thiosulfonat (III). Oxydation von Cystin mit Perameisensäure führt, besonders in Gegenwart von HCl, über die Zwischenprodukte Thiosulfonat (III) und Sulfinsäure (VI) zu Cysteinsäure (VII).
