Zusammenfassung:The invention pertains to a process for manufacturing aromatic nitriles, wherein a starting material selected from the group of aromatic primary alcohols and aromatic aldehydes is contacted under reaction conditions in a reaction vessel with an inorganic amine compound and molecular oxygen in the presence of a Cu-dependent alcohol oxidase.The process of the invention makes it possible to prepare aromatic nitriles from easily available starting materials, namely aromatic primary alcohols or aldehydes, in high efficiency, without having to rely on cyanides or azides, or stringent reaction conditions.
