In presence of which catalyst do we get nitriles from aldehydes?(a) Zn-Al(b) Cu-Al(c) Cu-Zn(d) All of the mentionedThis question was addressed to me in final exam.The origin of the question is Aminating Agents-Hydroammonolysis topic in chapter Amination by Ammonolysis of Unit Processes

Answer» CORRECT answer is (c) Cu-Zn

For explanation I would say: 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.
