    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technically simple method effectively, selectively and economically producing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP) in high space-time yield (based on γ-butyrolactone) (γ-BL) from ammonia, methanol and γ-BL. SOLUTION: This method produces NMP in two steps, reacting ammonia with methanol in the presence of a catalyst at a high temperature to produce a mixture including monomethylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine and ammonia, separating ammonia in a first step and then reacting the mixture including methylamine with γ-BL in a molar ratio of monomethylamine/γ-BL >=1 at a high temperature and an overpressure, separating NMP and unreacted methylamine from the reaction product and returning the unreacted methylamine to the first step to react with methanol and ammonia.

    Abstract: N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is prepared by preparing a mixture comprising monomethylamine, dimethylamine and trimethylamine and ammonia in a first process step by reacting ammonia with methanol at elevated temperature in the presence of a catalyst, separating 10 off the ammonia, reacting the mixture comprising the methylamines with gamma-butyrolactone (gamma-BL), in a molar ratio of monomethylamine to gamma-BL of at least 1 in a second process step at elevated temperature and superatmospheric pressure, separating NMP and unreacted methylamines from the reaction product and returning unreacted methylamines to the first process step for reaction with methanol and ammonia.
