Abstract:
A method of producing ε-caprolactam from 3-oxoadipic acid includes: step 1 of mixing at least one selected from the group consisting of 3-oxoadipic acid and salts thereof with a catalyst and a solvent in the presence of hydrogen to produce 3-hydroxyadipic acid; and step 2 of reacting the 3-hydroxyadipic acid which is a product of step 1, a salt or carboxylic acid derivative thereof, or a mixture of these with hydrogen and ammonia.

Claim (Index 16):
The method according to  claim 12 , wherein step 1 is carried out under conditions of (i) or (ii):\n (i) in an aqueous solvent at a reaction temperature of 0\u00b0 C. to 50\u00b0 C.; (ii) in an organic solvent having a polarity value of 0 to 0.3 at a reaction temperature of not lower than 0\u00b0 C. and lower than 75\u00b0 C.
