A facile entry to macrocyclic disulfides: an efficient synthesis of redox-switched crown ethers

An interesting sulfur transfer reaction with benzyltriethylammonium tetrathiomolybdate has been used efficiently for the synthesis of macrocyclic disulfides. This methodology has been extended to a high-yield synthesis of ''redox-switched'' crown ethers which have potential application for selective ion transport across liquid membranes
