Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the functional group in the reactant. The reactant contains a thiol group (-SH).
Recognize the type of reaction. The arrow with [O] indicates an oxidation reaction.
Understand the oxidation of thiols. Thiols can be oxidized to form disulfides, where two thiol groups combine to form a disulfide bond (-S-S-).
Consider the structure of the product. The oxidation of the thiol group will lead to the formation of a disulfide bond between two identical alkyl groups.
Draw the product structure. Connect the sulfur atoms from two thiol groups to form a disulfide bond, ensuring the rest of the carbon skeleton remains unchanged.
