## Abstract The rate of HCN evolution during the inert pyrolysis of pyridine in the temperature range of 900β1000Β°C was determined in a flow system using a stirredβflow reactor. The data indicated that HCN was formed through a sequence of reactions rather than during the initial step(s) involving t

β¦ Synopsis
This short note describes studies of the pyrolysis of methacrylonitrile over a wide range of temperatures under flowing nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. Hydrogen cyanide was not found to be a primary product, but several organic nitriles are formed which decompose at higher temperature ( > 1100 K) to produce hydrogen cyanide almost quantitatively.
