epsilonlaktámy
Epsilonlaktamy, also known as caprolactams, are a class of cyclic amides containing a seven-membered ring. The most common and industrially significant member of this class is epsilon-caprolactam, which is a cyclic ester of 6-aminohexanoic acid. Epsilon-caprolactam is a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and many organic solvents.
The primary industrial application of epsilon-caprolactam is as a monomer for the production of nylon 6, also
Epsilon-caprolactam is synthesized industrially through various routes, with the most prevalent being the Beckmann rearrangement of
