Reaction Steps
30 mmols of L-lysine hydrochloride 1 is neutralized with 30 mmols of NaOH and then 270 mmols of Al2O3 is added, followed by the addition of 120 ml of 1-butanol. This mixture is heated to 117° C. and is refluxed for six hours. The yield of α-amino-ε-caprolactam 2 produced by this reaction is about 92%.
