CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we have developed a simple, efficient, and green method for the
synthesis of a small library of nitriles from araldehydes in excellent yield using a cata-
lytic amount of p-TSA, a mild, acidic, and inexpensive catalyst. The present method
has advantages compared to those reported in the literature,[11–15] including the
avoidance of using harmful organic solvents, the simplicity of the methodology,
and short reaction times. The method is as efficient as our previous method.[16e]
