A process which comprises contacting and catalytically reacting under essentially anhydrous conditions in the liquid phase an amide with a nitrile according to the equation: RCONH2+R1CN-><-RCN+R1CONH2 where R and R1 are not the same and are each selected from (1) H, hydrocarbyl, a hydrocarbyl group substituted with: one or more of F, Cl, Br, I, amido, cyano, formyl, hydrocarbylcarbonyl, hydrocarbyloxy, hydrocarbyloxycarbonyl, hydrocarbylcarbonyloxy and dihydrocarbylamino, and (2) any of group (1) where one or more H atoms are substituted by a deuterium atom,
