ジ-n-プロピルポリスルフィドおよびこれらのモノスルホキシド合成

抄録

In general, monosulfoxides of di-alkyl disulfides have characteristic odor and some antibacterial activity, for instance, allicin extracted from garlic Allium sativum has strong odor and antibacterial activity but less stability.
Di-n-propyl disulfide, di-n-propyl trisulfide, and di-n-propyl tetrasulfide were synthesized, oxidized to monosulfoxides by perbenzoic acid, and their chemical structures speculated by UV, IR spectra and moleculer refraction. They showed some antibacterial activity and more stability than allicin.
