Al. Lapidus et al., SYNTHESIS OF NITRILES FROM ACETONITRILE AND METHANOL IN THE PRESENCE OF OXIDE CATALYSTS, Russian chemical bulletin, 46(8), 1997, pp. 1476-1478
The promoting effect of potassium included in Cr/MgO catalysts for the
synthesis of nitriles from acetonitrile and methanol was found. The 5
% Cr-0.5% K/MgO catalyst exhibited the highest activity in the synthes
is of nitriles.
