Participation of activated DMSO in the one-pot transformation of aldehydes to nitriles has been described by reacting aldehydes with NHHHCl in DMSO in the absence of any added base or catalyst. The method is applicable to access a wide range of aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic nitriles, in which only water is a byproduct. A straightforward and practical procedure is demonstrated on a multigram scale. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart - New York.
