Abstract

Polyethylene glycol (PEG-400 and PEG-600) is an efficient, inexpensive, and recyclable homogeneous medium and catalyst (dual nature) for the clean synthesis of oximes (and aldoximes) under microwave irradiation in the absence of acid and base catalysts. Both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes/ketones give satisfactory results under microwave irradiation within a short time.
