Abstract
The alkanes, e.g., propane, are selectively converted (ammoxidized) into admixtures comprising .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated nitriles, e.g., acrylonitrile, by reacting same with ammonia and oxygen, in vapor phase, and in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a solid catalyst, the catalytically active phase of which comprising (1) molybdenum, vanadium and oxygen and (2) at least one of the elements, manganese, zinc, cobalt, copper, lithium, sodium, potassium and silver.
