Abstract

Abstract A new and efficient procedure for the one-pot conversion of various aldehydes into the corresponding nitriles under mild reaction conditions has been developed. The ethyl dichlorophosphate/DBU-mediated dehydration of aldoxime intermediates was utilized as a key operation to effect the transformation.
