Abstract
A process for producing cyclopropanecarbonitrile involves reacting cyclopropanecarbaldoxime with acetic anhydride to obtain a mixture containing acetic acid and cyclopropanecarbonitrile. The acetic acid can be removed from the mixture through azeotropic distillation of acetic acid with a solvent that forms with acetic acid an azeotropic mixture having an azeotropic point lower than the boiling point of the cyclopropanecarbonitrile.
