METHOD FOR MAKING NITRILE COMPOUNDS FROM ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED COMPOUNDS

摘要

The invention concerns a method for hydrocyanation of ethylenically unsaturated organic compounds comprising at least one nitrile function. It concerns more particularly hydrocyanation of diolefins such as butadiene or substituted olefins such as alkenenitriles like pentenenitriles. The inventive method is characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of a metal complex catalyst including a transition metal such as nickel and an organic ligand.
