Nitriles such as benzonitrile and acetonitrile react with hydrogen in the presence of a variety of catalysts to form HCN and hydrocarbons. The preferred catalyst to convert benzonitrile to benzene and HCN is 1% Pd/SiO2. The selectivity is essentially 100% at 30% conversion at 725 K. The major side-reaction with inferior catalysts is hydrogenolysis to toluene and ammonia. HCN yields increase with non-acidic supports and higher operating temperature.
