Abstract

The oxidation of thiourea and two dialkylthioureas to their respective formamidine disulfide cations by hydrogen peroxide in acid solution has been studied kinetically. The rate law and other data indicate that the reactions proceed via a nucleophilic displacement by sulfur on oxygen. The scope of this mechanism for reaction of nucleophiles with peroxides is discussed.
