Ammoxidation of 3-Picoline to Nicotinonitrile over Highly Dispersed V2O5/ZrO2 Catalysts†
Abstract
Vapour phase ammoxidation of 3-picoline to nicotinonitrile was carried out on highly dispersed vanadia catalysts supported on zirconia, the results suggest that vanadia/zirconia possesses high activity and selectivity for nicotinonitrile formation.
