A synthetic approach to the cyclic disulfide moiety of 3,5-diimido-1,2-dithiolane derivatives starting with readily available precursors including the electrochemical coupling of dithioanilides is developed. The electrochemical key step provides sustainable synthetic access in high yields, using a very simple electrolysis setup.
