Selective hydrolysis of nitriles to amides using NaOH-PEG under microwave irradiation

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397910008087213

We describe here an efficient, rapid and selective method for the conversion of nitriles in to their corresponding amides in the presence of PEG-400, aqueous sodium hydroxide system under microwave irradiation.
