Abstract:
Process for hydrocyanating a substrate selected from 2-, 3-, or 4-pentenenitrile and/or 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile or mixtures thereof by contacting the substrate with HCN in the presence of a zero-valent nickel catalyst and a promoter that is obtained as a byproduct of titanium ore chlorination.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for the hydrocyanation of a naturally occurring oil. A method of hydrogenating the nitrile containing carboxylic acids obtained by the above hydrocyanation to produce amine containing carboxylic acids is also disclosed.
