        abstract = {Cyanobutylation is one of the most important reactions in chemical industry which is followed to produce butyl acrylate. Butyl ester of acrylic acid is used in paints, sealants, coatings, adhesives, fuel, textile, plastics. This work completely covers the kinetic study of cyanobutylation reaction. Acrylonitrile and butanol are reacted with suitable solid ion exchange IRA-400 catalyst for certain time to produce butyl acrylate. Different mole ratio of acrylonitrile to butanol and by varying mass of solid catalyst the effects on conversion, yield and other parameters is studied. Product formed is analyzed to cheak its physical and chemical properties. Some features of this cyanobutylation are observed which are important from design, operational and control point of view, are presented.},
