Abstract
.alpha.,.beta.-Unsaturated nitriles are prepared by reacting an aldehyde with formamide in the presence of an acid and the presence or absence of a non-aromatic solvent to give an N-alkenyl-formamide, which is then passed, in the gas phase, over a dehydration catalyst at an elevated temperature. The nitriles obtainable by the process of the invention are valuable starting materials for the preparation of dyes, crop protection agents, plasticizers and drugs.
