Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of organic disulfides by oxidation of mercaptans with sulfur dissolved in an organic disulfide using an amine as catalyst, where the mercaptans are used as “crude mercaptan stream” from a reaction of alcohols with hydrogen sulfide over a catalyst suitable for mercaptan synthesis. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of the organic disulfides for the preparation of alkanesulfonic acids.
