In presence of which catalyst do we get nitriles from aldehydes? Correct Answer Cu-Zn
Nitriles can be obtained by the ammonolysis of aldehydes in the presence of Cu-Zn catalyst and around 300-350’C and also that cobalt or copper and zinc are specific catalysts for the preparation of nitriles by reacting aldehydes and ammonia.
