摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an aromatic nitrile from a halide without increasing the number of carbons. SOLUTION: In the method for producing an aromatic nitrile of formula (1): Ar-CN (wherein Ar is a substituted or nonsubstituted aromatic ring), an aromatic compound of formula (2): Ar-CH2-X (wherein Ar is a substituted or nonsubstituted aromatic ring and X is any of chlorine, bromine, and iodine) is reacted with ammonia water and simple substance iodine.
