Bis (carboxyphenyl) disulfide is very readily hydrolysed with aqueous alkali hydroxide at room temperature. Simultaneous oxidation and reduction take place and m-thiobenzoic acid is obtaind as the reduction product. Examination of this reaction showed that the disulfoxide, which Smiles reported as the oxidation product, did not exist, but that m-sulfinobenzoic acid was found as the oxidation product. Furthrer, hydrolysis of many aromatic disulfide was examind. The disulfides which were soluble in aqueous alkali hydroxide, except the ortho-substituted compounds, were hydrolysed in the same manner as the above compound. The mechanism of hydrolysis with alcoholic alkali hydroxide seems to be different.
