Abstract
A process is described for the electrochemical reduction of organic disulfides in the presence of halide ion to form the corresponding thiols, which comprises using a stable solid cathode selected from the group consisting of the disulfides and diselenides of titanium, vanadium, molybdenum, tantalum, tungsten, niobium and zirconium, wherein the cathode does not undergo substantial disintegration during the reduction. The organic thiol products are useful as intermediates in the manufacture of organic pigments, as polymerization activators and as polymerization modifiers in the manufacture of rubber.
