Hydrolysis of butyronitrile

The effect of high pressure (128-2600 bar) and high temperature (330°C) on the hydrolysis of butyronitrile (156) has been reported. ... 

Example 7.1. High-temperature hydrolysis of butyronitrile [5], Nitriles in toxic aqueous wastes, e.g., from manufacture of explosives, can be hydrolyzed at high temperature and pressure. Amide, acid, and ammonia are formed, and nitrile conversion can be carried to extinction. For butyronitrile as a model compound ...
