Abstract

Catalyst compositions comprising cuprous bromide, together with ammonium or alkali metal bromide, dissolved in acetamide, formamide, pyrrolidone, piperidone, caprolactam or the N-methyl or N-ethyl derivatives of these are used to catalyse the formation of acrylonitrile from HCN and acetylene. Examples describe catalysts comprising cuprous bromide, ammonium bromide and cuprous cyanide dissolved in pyrrolidone, piperidone or caprolactam and cuprous bromide and ammonium bromide only dissolved in dimethylformamide or acetamide. Specification 811,136 is referred to.ALSO:Acrylonitrile is prepared by reacting HCN and acetylene in the presence of cuprous bromide dissolved in acetamide, formamide, pyrrolidone, piperidone, caprolactam or the N-methyl or N-ethyl derivatives of these. Ammonium or alkali metal bromide is also present, preferably in the minimum amount necessary to obtain complete solution of the cuprous bromide. The reaction temperature ranges from about 60 DEG C. to the boiling-point of the catalyst. In examples HCN and acetylene are reacted in the presence of catalysts comprising cuprous bromide, ammonium bromide and cuprous cyanide dissolved in pyrrolidone, piperidone or caprolactam, and cuprous bromide and ammonium bromide only dissolved in dimethylformamide or acetamide. Specification 811,136 is referred to.
