DEFINITION

Classification: 558/360

(under subclass 357) Processes wherein the carbon to carbon bond forms between carebons of plural molecules of identical nitrile reactants.

(1) Note. An example of a process provided for herein is: the production of succinonitrile by dehydrodimerizing acetonitrile in the presence of lead oxide.
