DEFINITION

Classification: 558/332

(under subclass 303) Processes wherein cyano is bonded to carbon by the reaction of an organic compound with an inorganic cyanide, such as HCN, cyanogen, cyanogen chioride, metal cyanide, ammonium cyanide, etc.

(1) Note. An example of a process provided for herein is: the production of acetonitrile by reaction of acetone and cyanogen in the presence of activated alumina.

(2) Note. The inorganic cyanides listed above are considered inorganic by reason of their classification in Class 423.
