cyclohexanone is required. when the mixed oil is heated under pressure with copper(ll) and chromium(lll) oxides, the cyclohexanol, which is a secondary alcohol, is dehydrogenated to the corresponding ketone, cyclohexanone: cyclohexanone is then converted into caprolactam via the oxime (produced by the reaction
presence of acid. a zeolite , with acidic sites, is also being used to effect the rearrangement. the zeolite is regenerated and saves the use of sulfuric acid. to produce the polymer, the caprolactam, water (acting as a catalyst) and a molecular mass regulator, e.g. ethanoic acid, are poured into a reaction...
