    Abstract: Lactams are prepared by the reaction of a cycloalkanecarboxylic acid or an alkyl derivative thereof with nitrosyl hydrogen pyrosulphate. The reaction may be carried out in an inert solvent, e.g. in aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon or nitroparaffin. The acid may be one having 4-12 carbon atoms in the ring. Examples are given for the preparation of caprolactam, capryllactam, valerolactam and lauryllactam. The process is operated at a temperature between 30 DEG and 150 DEG C. The lactam is separated by extracting the unreacted acid from the mixture by solvent extraction; neutralizing the remaining aqueous solution with an alkaline material, and extracting the lactam with a solvent, e.g. benzene, chloroform or methylene dichloride.
