One step synthesis of ε-caprolactam from cyclohexanone and hydroxylamine used acidic ionic liquids [HSO3-b-N(CH3)HSO4 as reaction medium and catalyst were investigated. Reaction conditions were investigated to obtain the optimum conditions. The results indicate that the yield of CPO is 35.9% and the yield of CPL is 20.4% under optimal reaction conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
