On-line monitoring of the hydrolysis of acetonitrile in near-critical water using Raman spectroscopy

“…This reaction has been previously studied in our group, using in situ IR spectroscopy [42], despite the large absorbance of water in the IR region; for this reason, very short path-lengths had to be used, so the concentration of CH 3 CN had to be rather high (50%, w/w). Under these conditions, unfortunately it becomes debatable which is the reactant and which is the solvent.…”
