    Abstract: Aliphatic alpha,omega-aminonitriles are prepared by partial hydrogenation of aliphatic alpha,omega-dinitriles at elevated temperatures and superatmospheric pressure in the presence of a solvent and of a catalyst by a process which comprises using a catalyst which (a) contains a compound based on a metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, iron, ruthenium and rhodium and (b) contains from 0.01 to 25% by weight, based on (a), of a promoter based on a metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, iridium, osmium, copper, silver, gold, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, manganese, rhenium, zinc, cadmium, lead, aluminum, tin, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth and rare earth metals and (c) from 0 to 5% by weight, based on (a), of a compound based on an alkali metal or on an alkaline earth metal. with the proviso that the component (a) is not based on iron or iron and one of the metals selected from the group consisting of cobalt, ruthenium and rhodium when (b) is a promoter based on a metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, manganese, chromium and molybdenum, and with the further proviso that, when a compound based on only ruthenium or rhodium or ruthenium and rhodium or nickel and rhodium is selected as component (a), the promoter (b) may be dispensed with.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the prepartaion of alkanesulfonic acids, comprising the following steps: (a) oxidation of alkylmercaptans and/or dialkyl disulfides and/or dialkyl polysulfides having from three to nine sulfur atoms with nitric acid to form alkanesulfonic acids, water, nitrogen oxides and other byproducts, (b) regeneration of the nitrogen oxides obtained from step (a) with oxygen to give nitric acid and recycling of the nitric acid to step (a), where steps (a) and (b) are carried out in reaction chambers separate from one another.
