METHOD FOR SYNTHESIS OF COMPOUNDS COMPRISING NITRILE FUNCTIONS FROM ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS

摘要

The invention concerns a method for hydrocyanation of ethylenically unsaturated organic compounds into compounds comprising at least one nitrile function. More particularly, the invention concerns hydrocyanation of olefins such as butadiene or substituted olefins for example, alkenenitriles such as pentenenitriles. The invention is characterized in that hydrocyanation is carried out in the presence of a catalytic system comprising a metal element and monodentate and pluridentate organophosphorus ligands.
