An environmentally friendly reaction that excludes the potential contamination of the products by metal impurities is reported. In this reaction, optically active aldoximes and nitriles are prepared from chiral nitroalkanes (see scheme). The methodology described expands the possibilities available for the conversion of nitroalkanes into valuable targets.
