Abstract:
A low molecular weight complex of a lactam and a hydroxy phenolic compound having the formula: ##SPC1##Wherein n is an integer of 3 to 5; W is hydrogen or alkyl having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms including cycloalkyl substituents; each R or R.sub.2 is alkoxy of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydrogen, halogen, hydroxyl, nitro, cyano, carboxylamino, alkylhydroxy having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkyl having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and wherein R.sub.2 can also be alaninyl or a hydroxy benzyl radical having the formula ##SPC2##Where R' is hydroxyl, cyano, alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydrogen or halogen and wherein at least one R or R.sub.2 is hydroxy when R.sub.2 is other than a hydroxy benzyl radical.
Abstract:
AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A LACTAM COMPLEX WHICH MAY BE READILY CONVERTED TO A CORRESPONDING LACTAM FROM AN ALICYCLIC KETOXIME COMPLEX BY REACTING SAID KETOXIME COMPLEX WITH A LACTIME-O-SULFONIC ACID METAL COMPOUND, AS A REARRANGEMENT REAGENT, OF THE FOLLOWING FORMULA (2)
(-O-SO2-O-C WHEREIN R1 IS AN ALKYLENE GROUP SUBSTITUTED ALKYLENE GROUP HAVING 3 TO 11 CARBON ATOMS IN THE MAIN CHAIN, M IS A METAL ATOM SELECTED FROM METALS OF GOUPS 11B, IIIA, IV AND VA OF THE PERIODIC TABLE, X IS A HALOGEN ATOM, N IS THE MAXIMUM VALENCY OF M AND IS A POSITIVE INTEGER OF 2 TO 5, AND P IS EQUAL TO N OR A POSITIVE INTEGER SMALLER THAN N.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an excellent method of regenerating a zeolite catalyst used in producing ε-caprolactam by the Beckmann rearrangement reaction of a cyclohexanone oxime. SOLUTION: The contact of the zeolite catalyst used for the Beckmann rearrangement reaction of the cyclohexanone oxime with a compound selected from ammonia and amine, a carboxylic acid, and a gas containing water allows an ε-caprolactam-producing catalyst to regenerate. Regenerating the catalyst with this method and reusing makes it possible to produce the ε-caprolactam over the long term at a high yield. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
