Page/Page column 4, (2008/12/07)
Disclosed is a process for production of a lactam (particularly, an industrially useful lactam, e.g., laurolactam) with high selectivity, comprising hydrogenating a cyclic dicarboxylic acid imide having a large of ring members (particularly, a 8-membered or more cyclic dicarboxylic acid imide) to produce a corresponding. The process is characterized by hydrogenating a 8-membered or more cyclic dicarboxylic acid imide in the presence of ruthenium of platinum. In the process, the ruthenium or platinum may be supported on activated charcoal and an alcohol may be used as a reaction solvent.
