The mild and efficient oxidation of a variety of organic functional groups with a twin catalyst/oxidant, bis(phenanthroline)silver(II) peroxydisulfate, [Ag(phen)₂]S₂O₈, is reported. This reagent shows high selectivity and the type of obtained products and the extent of oxidation are strongly dependent to the type of the functional groups and oxidant/substrate molar ratios.
