HCID 13632Octahydro-2H-azonin-2-one

Procedure

0.3 mol % of sodium hydride and 0.3 mol % of the co-catalyst according to the Example 15 were dissolved in molten laurolactam. After 120 minutes at 160°C the polymerizate contained almost the equilibrium amount of the polyamide. Similar result was obtained with caprylolactam.
