Procedure

The reaction used in the present invention is a gas phase catalytic oxidation reaction of an alkane with ammonia, i.e. an ammoxidation reaction of an alkane. As the alkane, methane, ethane, propane, n-butane, isobutane, pentane, hexane, heptane, or cyclohexane may, for example, be mentioned. Taking the industrial application of the resulting nitrile into consideration, however, it is preferred to employ a C1-4 alkane, particularly propane and/or butane, from a viewpoint such that as the resulting nitrile, acrylonitrile and/or methacrylonitrile can be obtained in good yield.
