Abstract

Dimerization of thiol groups to disulfide is an important transformation in chemical processes. In this study, magnetic ion exchanged Montmorillonite-k10 was synthesized and characterized using FTIR, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope techniques. Then, the application of the synthesized catalyst as an efficient oxidizing agent was evaluated in oxidative dimerization of different thiols to corresponding disulfides under optimal reaction conditions. The reaction was easily performed with aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic thiols. The magnetic catalyst was easily recovered by applying an external magnet and, further, was reused in successive reactions.
