Abstract

A 1000 ml reaction vessel, fitted with a stopcock, two joints for the electrodes, and a connecting joint, was used in the investigation. The flask, which has a cold finger at the bottom, was filled with an equimolar mixture of anhydrous methane and ammonia. The electrodes were adjusted to provide a gap of about 0.8 cm between them so that the current flowing through the electrodes was about 0.5 mA and a continuous spark could be observed. The operation was continued for 20 hr. The analysis of the reaction products showed the formation of amino nitriles under the conditions of the investigation.
