1,130 g (10.00 mol) of 6-caprolactam, 306.1 g (10.00 mol) of 98% purity paraformaldehyde and 6.91 g (0.05 mol) of ground K2CO3 were brought to reaction. Apart from the catalyst, a clear solution was present. After 2 hours, the mixture was cooled to 50° C.; a few grains of pure N-methylol-caprolactam were added as seed crystals. 1,428 g of methylolcaprolactam (=99.9% of the theoretical yield) were obtained.
