Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows the path leading from bio‐based lactic acid to acrylonitrile. In the first stage, the direct amidation of lactic acid is catalyzed by MFI zeolites. The obtained lactamide is subsequently dehydrated to acrylonitrile. More information can be found in the Full paper by D. Mack et al. onpage 1653 in Issue 8, 2019 (DOI:10.1002/cssc.201802914 ).
