Hydrogenation of Nitriles

An optimized heterogeneous catalyst for efficient and selective nitrile hydrogenations.

Addition of amines or alcohols to acrylonitrile, and subsequent catalytic hydrogenation to 1,3-diamines or 1,3-alkoxyamines.

Reaction of secondary amines with formaldehyde and HCN, and subsequent hydrogenation to 1,2-diamines.

New, patented one-step technology for reaction of nitriles with secondary amines to produce tertiary amines.
