Process for the manufacture of compounds comprising nitrile functional groupsThe present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of compounds comprising at least one nitrile functional group by hydrocyanation of a compound comprising at least one unconjugated unsaturation.The invention provides a process for the manufacture of compounds comprising at least one nitrile functional group by hydrocyanation of an organic compound comprising at least one unconjugated unsaturation comprising from 2 to 20 carbon atoms by reaction with hydrogen cyanide in the presence of a catalytic system comprising a complex of nickel in the zero oxidation state with at least one organophosphorus ligand chosen from the group consisting of organophosphites, organophosphonites, organophosphinites and organophosphines and a cocatalyst of the Lewis acid type composed of a mixture of Lewis acids.
