Abstract:
Data on structure, synthesis, stability, and reactivity of sulfur-containing reductants with C - S and S - S bonds - sodium dithionite, sodium hydroxymethanesulfinate, as well as thiourea oxides,- are surveyed. Reactions of anaerobic and aerobic degradation of sulfur-containing reductants are discussed. Application of these compounds to study non-linear phenomena in chemical kinetics, as well as in guanidine synthesis, is considered.
