|
| Authors: | Shashikant U. Dighe Deepan Chowdhury Sanjay Batra |
| Abstract: | A highly practical, one‐step, facile synthesis of aromatic, heteroaromatic, allylic and aliphatic nitriles from primary alcohols catalyzed by ferric nitrate [Fe(NO3)3⋅9H2O] in the presence of TEMPO, aqueous ammonia and air at room temperature is described.  |
