Procedure

A benzene (50 g; manufactured by JUNSEI CHEMICAL Co., Ltd.) solution in which 240 g (1.5 mol) of bromine (manufactured by JUNSEI CHEMICAL Co., Ltd.) were dissolved was cooled with ice to 10° C. To the cooled solution, 450 g (1.6 mol) of 90% phosphorus tribromide (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd.) were added while the temperature of the reaction solution was maintained at 10° C. or less, and the resultant reaction solution was stirred for 60 minutes. Into the reaction solution, a benzene (220 g) solution in which 85 g (0.75 mol) of commercially available 6-hexanolactam (trade name: ε-caprolactam; manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) were dissolved was added dropwise through a dropping funnel over 30 minutes while maintaining the temperature of the reaction solution at 10° C. or less.
