Abstract:
.epsilon.-caprolactam is produced by gas phase reaction of cyclohexanone oxime using a solid acid as a catalyst in the presence of a compound represented by the formula (I): R.sub.1 --O--R.sub.2 (wherein R.sub.1 represents a lower alkyl group which may be substituted with a fluorine atom and R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a phenyl group) such as a lower alcohol or an ether compound. The solid acid includes a crystalline metallosilicate or a crystalline silicate.
Abstract:
A process for the catalyzed conversion fo oximes such as cyclohexanone oxime to amides such as caprolactam via a high conversion, high selectivity, long catalyst lifetime reaction over a HAMS-1B crystalline borosilicate-based catalyst composition.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a two-step process for the synthesis of caprolactam by reaction of cylcohexanone-oxime with an excess of oleum, carried out in a first step with only a portion of the oxime and in the presence of liquid SO.sub.2, according to usual "cold" techniques, the amount of free SO.sub.3 in the oleum being equal to or greater than 50% by weight, wherein said "cold" step is completed by a second "hot" step, by adding a second portion of oxime, the ratio between said second portion and said first portion ranging from 0.5 to 1.2.
Abstract:
.epsilon.-caprolactam is prepared by gas phase catalytic synthesis in which cyclohexanone oxime is brought into contact with crystalline alluminosilicate, for example, ZSM-5 H.sup.+ form) having 1-12 of constraint index, 500 or more, preferably 1000 or more, of Si/Al atomic ratio and 5.mu. equivalent/g or less, preferably 2.mu. equivalent/g, of external acid amount.

Abstract:
A METHOD FOR CONVERTING A KETOXIME TO AN N-SUBSTITUTED AMIDE BY REACTING A KETOXIME WITH A COMPLEX OF AN NSUBSTITUTED CARBOXYLIC ACID AMIDE AND SULFUR TRIOXIDE TO FORM A NOVEL COMPOUND OF THE KETOXIME, CARBOXYLIC ACID AMIDE AND SULFUR TRIOXIDE AND DECOMPOSING THIS COMPOUND TO PRODUCE AN N-SUBSTITUTED AMIDE CORRESPONDING TO THE KETOXIME. CYCLOHEXANONE OXIME IS CONVERTED TO CAPROLACTAM.
Abstract:
A HIGH PURITY W-LAUROLACTAM IS PREPARED FROM A CRUDE CYCLODODECANONE OXIME CONTAINING 5% BY WEIGHT OR LESS OF CYCLODODECANONE BY SUBJECTING THE OXIME TO THE BECKMANN REARRANGEMENT REACTION IN THE PRESENCE OF SULFURIC ACID HAVING A CONCENTRATION OF 98% BY WEIGHT OR MORE OR FUMING SULFURIC ACID CONTAINING 20% BY WEIGHT OR LESS OF SULFURIC-ANHYDRIDE, SEPARATING THE THUS FORMED W-LAUROLACTAM FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE, DISSOLVING THE RESULTING W-LAUROLACTAM N A LIQUID AROMATIC HYDROCARBON, WASHING THE SOLUTION WITH AN ALKALI SOLUTION AT A TEMPERATURE OF 60* TO 120* C., AND RECOVERING W-LAUROLACTAM.
Abstract:
