Some of the compounds are new. They are useful as intermediates for synthesizing herbicides and can be used directly as fungicides.

There are prepared acyl cyanides of the formula ##STR1## where R is a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and which also can be substituted by one or more phenyl groups or halogen atoms, preferably chlorine, or R is preferably a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, preferably cyclopropyl, which can have one or more 1 to 3 carbon atom alkyl or halogen, preferably chlorine, substituents wherein in all of the above set forth substitutions the halogen atoms and the phenyl groups are not on the carbon atom adjacent to the carbonyl group or R is a substituted phenyl group, a naphthyl group, a substituted naphthyl group or a five membered heterocyclic group, e.g., furyl, thienyl or alkyl substituted thienyl, wherein the substituents on the phenyl or naphthyl are halogen atoms, nitro groups or alkyl or alkoxy groups having 1 to 5 carbon atoms. The process comprises reacting an acyl halide of the formulaR--CO--Hal (II)in which R is as defined above and Hal is a chlorine or bromine atom, with a mixture consisting of about 0.1 to 5 equivalents of the alkali metal cyanide and about 0.05 to 2 equivalents of the copper (I) salt at a temperature of about 50.degree. to 180.degree. C in the presence of a carboxylic acid nitrile inert under the reaction conditions employed. Certain of the compounds are novel per se.

The process comprises saponifying an acyl cyanide of the formula ##STR4## in which R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are as defined above in an organic solvent or mixture of such solvents which is liquid and inert under the reaction conditions, first with gaseous hydrogen chloride and then treating with water at a temperature of about -70.degree. C. to about +70.degree. C. and then isolating the .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acid amide in conventional manner. Several of the cyclic .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acid amides are new compounds.
