Synthesis

Disulfide bonds are usually formed from the oxidation of thiol groups, especially in biological contexts. The transformation is depicted as follows:
:2 RSH <=> RS-SR + 2 H+ + 2 e-A variety of oxidants participate in this reaction including oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Such reactions are thought to proceed via sulfenic acid intermediates.
