PURPOSE:To provide a production method capable of producing a nitrile from an alkane as the raw material in high yield without adding a halogen compound, water, etc., to the reaction system. CONSTITUTION:The characteristic of this method for production of a nitrile is that an alkane is subjected to gas phase catalytic reaction with ammonia in the presence of a catalyst represented by the formula; MoaCrbBicXdOn[X represents one or more elements selected from among alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, Al, Zr, Ni, Co, Ce, Nb, Ta, W, Ti, Mn, Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt, Sb, B, In, La, P, Sn Pb and Cu. In the case of (a)=1, (b)=0.01 to 10, (c)=0.01 to 10 and (d)=0 to 100. In addition, (n) depends on the oxidation state of other elements]. |
