Abstract
Propionamide and propiononitrile were formed by passing the mixture of ethy lene, carbon monoxide, and ammonia under atmospheric pressure over silica- or zeolite-supported Ru ammine complex catalyst. Rh ammine complex also pro moted the reaction but the catalytic activity was low. It is inferred that propionamide is formed primarily and is dehydrated successively on the acid ic site of the support.
