Abstract
Abstract Trichloroacetonitrile has been found to be an efficient dehydrating agent for a range of aldoximes including aromatic and heterocyclic aldoxime yielding the corresponding nitriles in moderate to good yields. The dehydration reactions can take place in non-acetonitrile media without the aid of a metal catalyst. In addition, it has been confirmed that trichloroacetonitrile was converted into trichloroacetamide in the reaction. Graphical Abstract
