Abstract:The reaction between caprolactam and ethanol was performed in near-critical water. The primary product (ethyl-6-aminohexanoate) was identified by GC-MS. The influences of the reaction temperature, residence time, initial ratio (reactant/water), pH, and additives on the yields of ethyl-6-aminohexanoate are discussed. The results showed that the yield of ethyl-6-aminohexanoate could be as high as 98 % with SnCl2 as an additive in near-critical water. At the same time, the reaction between caprolactam and ethanol… Show more
“…In addition, the chemical procedures from methyl-3-pentenoate to adipic acid/esters have also been established in >90% yield and about 80% selectivity, but the most prominent disadvantage is that the related processes are very complicated and involve multi-step processing. [171][172][173][174] Earlier in 1987, Drent and co-workers showed elegantly that the use of the ligand 2-pyridyl-diphenylphosphine 40 allows for exceptional activity in the carbonylation of propylene. It was speculated that the active catalytic species was stabilized by the hemilabile P-N coordination of the ligand.…”
In recent decades, the use of 1,3-butadiene as a comparably cheap and abundant raw material for new applications has attracted more and more interest, specifically in the chemical industry. The...

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.
