Microwave-assisted conversion of oximes into nitriles in the presence of a zeolite

摘要

Aromatic aldoximes were converted to the corresponding nitriles in a microwave oven in the presence of a molecular sieve-type modified zeolite, Ersorb, under solvent-free conditions. The yields depended on the substituent of the oxime. Nitriles are important synthons in organic chemical syntheses.
