Abstract:
CAPROLACTAM IS PREPARED IN A SINGLE STEP WITHOUT FORMATION OF BY-PRODUCT AMMONIUM SULFATE BY CONTACTING 2-NITROCYCLOHEXANONE AND/OR 2-NITROCYCLOHEXEN-1-O1 WITH HYDROGEN AT A TEMPERATURE RANGING FROM 150* TO 300* C. IN THE PRESENCE OF A LIQUID MEDIUM SUCH AS WATER, ALCOHOLS, ETHERS, BENZENE OR MIXTURES THEREOF AND OF AN ACTIVE HYDROGENATION CATALYST, PERFERABLY IN THE FURTHER PRESENCE OF A NITROGEN-CONTAINING BASIC SUBSTANCE SUCH AS AMMONIA. THIS INVENTION RELATS TO A NOVEL PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF E-CAPROLACTAM.
Abstract:
