Abstract:
A method of preparing .omega.-lactams, in particular caprolactam, comprising: a step of premixing cycloaliphatic acids having the formula ##STR1## where n=3-13, with a dehydrating agent; the first step of reaction with a nitrosating agent; the second step of reaction with the addition of a very small amount of water corresponding to a molar ratio U=H.sub.2 O/SO.sub.3 within the 0.1 to 0.9 range; and the step of reclaiming the unreacted cycloaliphatic acid. The method affords improved output from the lactamization reaction and reduced byproducts.

Abstract:
A METHOD FOR PREPARAING LACTAMS BY THE STEPS OF (1) CLEAVING AND ESTERIFYING A CYCLIC ALPHA-NITROKETONE WITH AN ALCOHOL TO FORM AN ALKYL OMEGA-NITROESTER AND (2) CATALYST HYDROGENATING AND CYCLIZING THE NITROESTER TO A LACTAM.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing cyclododecanone (CDON). During the production, contaminated cyclododecane (CDAN) is produced. This can be separated from CDON by distillation (CDAN-containing fraction). The separation of CDAN and impurities such as 13-oxabicyclo [7.3.1]tridecane occurs by crystallizing out CDAN from the CDAN-containing fraction.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing C4-C15 lactams, in which a C1-C10-alkyl nitrite is reacted with a C4-C15-cycloalkane and is illuminated with a light-emitting diode during the reaction. This forms a C4-C15-cyclohexanone oxime which is then converted further to a C4-C15 lactam; the C1-C10 alcohol formed is recycled into the preparation of the C1-C10-alkyl nitrite.
Abstract:
A method for preparing omega-aminoalkanoic acids by the steps of (1) nitro-oxidizing a cycloalkene to a cyclic alpha-nitroketone, (2) cleaving and esterifying a cyclic alpha-nitroketone with an alcohol to form an alkyl omega-nitroester, (3) catalytically hydrogenating the nitroester to an aminoester and (4) hydrolyzing the aminoester to an aminoalkanoic acid.
Abstract:
A method for the preparation of omega lactams is disclosed, more particularly epsilon caprolactam or a precursor thereof (such as cyclohexanone oxime), using as the starting material a cyclomethylene ketene, with the simultaneous formation of side products such as cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, wherein an adduct is preliminarly formed between cyclomethylene ketene and sulphur dioxide. The adduct is then reacted with a nitrosating agent so as to obtain, under the appropriate reaction conditions, the expected lactam, more specifically epsilon caprolactam.
