Respected Sir/Madam
I am trying to form methyl ester of 4-Mercapto benzoic acid by using
thionyl chloride and then adding methanol at room temparature. Although
ester is formed but it is also forming disulfide. I want to cleave disulfide
bond without cleavage of ester. Please tell me some suitable methods for
this.
Thank You
