- step without any transition-metal catalyst, ligand, or photocatalyst, this method possesses a splendid application prospect. The reaction mechanism is as follows (Scheme 48): Firstly, carbon disulfide combines with N-methylaniline (134) in the presence of Cs2CO3 to form thiolate 136. Thiolate 136 is

- structures of the garlic oil constituents and also of the allyl group remained unknown, but its formula was correctly assigned as C3H5. Five decades later, Semmler reported on the nature of allyl propyl disulfide (1), diallyl disulfide (2), diallyl trisulfide (3), and diallyl tetrasulfide (4) from garlic oil
- (Scheme 1A) [2]. The antibacterial principle in garlic was identified in 1944 by Cavallito et al. as allicin (5) [3], a formal oxidation product of disulfide 2. Not only 5, but also several other sulfur compounds from garlic are today known to exhibit diverse biological activities, including inter alia
- labelling into dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), the oxidative dimerization product from MeSH, showing the activity of the demethylation pathway in these bacteria. However, knockout of the dmdA gene in R. pomeroyi still gave a low incorporation of labelling into DMDS, suggesting the presence of another gene

- chemistry tools to deliver into living cells has seen a shift of attention from counterion-mediated uptake of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) and their mimics, particularly the Schmuck cation, toward thiol-mediated uptake with cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) and cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs
- increasing number of charges and substrate size [18]. To address both problems, the peptide backbone has been replaced by poly(disulfide)s [18][37]. The resulting cell-penetrating poly(disulfide)s (CPDs) 18 are at least as efficient as CPPs but less toxic because they are degraded by reductive
- depolymerization as soon as they reach the cytosol, and their endosomal capture is minimal because they enter cells by thiol-mediated uptake (Figure 4) [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. This mechanism operates by dynamic covalent disulfide exchange on the cell surface and on the way into the cell

This strategy has led to the discovery of many artificial receptors [7][8][9][10], with thiolate disulfide

- thioureas is the reaction of carbon disulfide with either one or two different amines [9]. Due to their self-assembly and self-organization through intermolecular hydrogen bonding, thioureas display interesting technological applications to this group of molecules, one of which explores its application in
