DEFINITION

Classification: 558/316

(under subclass 308) Processes wherein there is employed as a reactant a compound having acyclic or clicyclic carbon bonded directly to -OH (wherein H of -OH may be replaced by substituted or unsubstituted ammonium, or by a Group IA or IIA light metal).

(1) Note. An example of a process provided for herein is the production of benzonitrile by reacting benzyl alcohol and ammonia in the presence of a catalyst at high temperature.
