title: Solvent free, microwave assisted conversion of aldehydes into nitriles and oximes in the presence of NH2OH x HCl and TiO2.
abstract: Aromatic aldehydes bearing electron-donating groups are easily converted into their respective nitriles using NH(2)OH.HCl and TiO(2) under microwave irradiation, while those bearing an electron-withdrawing group give the corresponding oximes.
