3-Methoxycaprolactam was prepared from 3-chlorocaprolactam (prepared as described in Francis, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1958, 80, 6238) and sodium methoxide according to the method of Kondelikova, et al. (Collect. Czech. Chem. Commun. 1971, 36(9), 3391). The desired product N-benzoyl-3-methoxycaprolactam is synthesized as for N-benzoyl-3-oxomorpholine (Example I) using 3 -methoxycaprolactam in place of morpholin-3-one.
