Hi all

Does anybody know the reaction mechanism of the reduction of disulfides by
Tris-carboxyethyl-phosphine. I remember to have seen a proposed mechanism in
a short paper or a book but I cannot find it anymore (I always thought to
have a good retrieval system for all the copied papers I have - but nothing
is perfect).

Many regards
Peter
