Abstract
Abstract Fatty nitriles have lately become of interest in the frame of biofuels or for the valorization of the oil part of biomass as fine chemicals such as polymers. The production of long-chain fatty nitriles by direct reaction of esters with ammonia has however not been academically extensively studied, although several catalysts were developed and published in patents. Acid–base features are implicitly considered as leading the catalysis of this ...
