Abstract
The growth of saturated carbon–carbon chains has been detected in the reaction of isonitriles with Raney nickel and Raney cobalt in liquid ammonia and under hydrogen pressure. The plausible mechanism for this Fischer–Tropsch‐like reaction with isonitrile instead of carbon monoxide is discussed.
