Reaction of sulfur chlorides with alcohols
I am trying to find some sort of literature that outlines the reaction of sulfur chlorides with alcohols. As much as I search, I can't find anything.
I could only find two useless things on PubChem,

Alcohol and glycols in the presence of hydrochloric acid lead to dehydration reactions.

and

Decomp in alcohol, ether

I am trying to see if this reaction will form alkyl chlorides and an analogous reaction will form alkyl iodides (More details here). Before I start experimenting, I want some literature of sorts that confirms that this works. Does anyone have a paper outlining this?

This problem was probably studied at the end of the 19th century.

That's because the rxns give a mixture of products including, among other things, sulfur mustards. The dehydration product alkenes can add across S-Cl
to give further products.
