Oxyhalogenation of thiols and disulfides into sulfonyl chlorides/bromides using oxone-KX (X = Cl or Br) in water

A simple and rapid method for efficient synthesis of sulfonyl chlorides/bromides by oxyhalogenation of thiols and disulfides with oxone-KX (X = Cl or Br) using water as the solvent is described.
