Abstract The photochemistry of diazomethane‐acetonitrile gaseous mixtures has been studied. Propionitrile was produced by the reaction of methylene radicals with acetonitrile. At lower pressures the product propionitrile decomposes and the measured decomposition rates are 1.14×10 9 sec −1 and 2.70×10 8 sec −1 at 3660 and 4358 Å, respectively.
