Reaktionsschritte

10 ml of diallyl disulphide (DADS) were stirred into 100 ml ethanol/water (1:1). 20 grams of potassium peroxymonosulfate (Oxone®) was added slowly over 2 hours, and stirred at below 10° C. until no further reaction was observed. The resultant solution was then filtered, and then extracted with diethyl ether (2×50 ml). The diethyl ether layers were combined and washed with 10% brine solution 2×50 ml. The ether layer was dried with magnesium sulfate then reduced to under vacuum. Removal of the solvent produced a yellow oil of pure allicin better than 90% (expressed as a % of pure material). The pure allicin may then be treated as per Example 1 for conversion to ajoene.
