“…Like other green oxidants such as O 2 and H 2 O 2 [ 5 ], peroxymonosulfate (PMS, Oxone ® ) has been widely used: (1) in the academia to develop new synthetic protocols [ 6 ]; (2) in pharmaceutical companies to promote oxidative stress testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) to predict their degradation [ 7 ]; and (3) in hypersaline industrial wastewaters to remove organic contaminants [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. This safe, sustainable, and inexpensive oxidant has shown extraordinary reactivity with alkaline metal halide salts [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ] and with hydrogen halides (HCl, HBr and HI) [ 28 , 29 , 30 ].…”
