    Abstract: Amides are prepared from the corresponding ketones by heating the ketone together with hydroxylamine, an acylating agent and a Beckmann transforming agent, e.g. sulphuric acid. The process is particularly applicable to the preparation of lactams from cyclic ketones. Acetic anhydride is a suitable acylating agent but instead of hydroxylamine and an acylating agent a reaction product thereof, e.g. acethydroxamic acid or its acetate, may be used. Acetic acid or a chloracetic acid may be present. The temperature is preferably from 120 DEG to 140 DEG C. Examples are given of the preparation of caprolactam by heating cyclohexanone with hydroxylamine sulphate, acetic or chloracetic acid, and acetic anhydride with or without additional sulphuric acid; and by heating cyclohexanone with acethydroxamic acid acetate, acetic acid and acetic anhydride. A further example shows the production of N-isopropylisobutyramide from di-isopropyl ketone, hydroxylamine sulphate, acetic acid, acetic anhydride and sulphuric acid. Similarly benzophenone may be converted into benzanilide, diethyl ketone into propionethylamide and cycloheptanone into the corresponding lactam. Specification 750,222 is referred to.

    Abstract: An improvement in the conventional process for the production of caprolactam. The process involves: (a) reacting air with ammonia gas in an ammonia conversion zone to produce nitric oxide; (b) oxidizing a portion of the nitric oxide to nitrogen dioxide to produce an NOx-rich process gas stream; (c) reacting the NOx-rich stream with ammonium carbonate in a nitriting zone to produce ammonium nitrite; (d) reducing the ammonium nitrite to hydroxylamine diammonium sulfate; (e) hydrolyzing the hydroxylamine diammonium sulfate to hydroxylamine sulfate; (f) oximating the hydroxylamine sulfate with cyclohexanone to produce cyclohexanone oxime; and (g) converting the cyclohexanone oxime to caprolactam. The process is improved by adding supplemental oxygen downstream of the ammonia conversion zone to increase the quantity and rate of formation of nitrogen dioxide in the NOx-rich process gas stream.
