General description

4-Fluorobenzyl mercaptan undergoes reaction with p-chloranil to afford mainly 2,5-dichloro-3,6-S-disubstituted benzoquinone and 2,6-dichloro-3,5-S-disubstituted benzoquinone.

Application

4-Fluorobenzyl mercaptan may be used in the synthesis of the degradation products of fluorapacin, namely bis(4-fluorobenzyl)disulfide and bis(4-fluorobenzyl)tetrasulfide.

Bis(4-fluorobenzyl)trisulfide, fluorapacin, has been extensively developed as a promising new anticancer drug candidate. Its degradation products were identified and verified by the newly synthesized compounds bis(4-fluorobenzyl)disulfide (A) and bis(4-fluorobenzyl)tetrasulfide (B) which were resulted from the disproportionation of fluorapacin under forced
