Abstract
Citronitril was obtained starting from ethyl cyanoacetate and benzylac etone using solid base catalysts. Hydrotalcites were found to carry ou t this reaction efficiently. The hydrotalcite catalyst was optimized f rom the point of view of its textural properties, composition,i.e. Ca, Mg, and Zn as divalent cations, and Al/(Al + Mg) in the case of the m agnesium-aluminium hydrotalcites. The influence of water, reaction tem perature and polarity of the solvent on conversion and selectivity was studied.
