An efficient solid-state oxidation of organic molecules is described using a stable, inexpensive, and easily handled reagent, the urea−hydrogen peroxide adduct. The generality of the reaction has been demonstrated in oxidation of several molecules, namely hydroxylated aldehydes and ketones (to hydroxylated phenols), sulfides (to sulfoxides and sulfones), nitriles (to amides), and nitrogen heterocycles (to N -oxides).
