Microwave irradiation of several aromatic and aliphatic nitriles, including an α,β-bistrimethysilylnitrile, with sodium perborate tetrahydrate in a mixture of water/ethanol (2:1), smoothly produced corresponding amide in short times and with high yields. Other functional groups, such as aldehyde, are unaffected under these conditions.
