Description

Laurolactam is a cyclic lactam with the formula (CH2)11NHCO. It is a white solid that is soluble in water and most organic solvents. Laurolactam is used in the production of nylon-12, a high-performance engineering plastic. Nylon-12 is known for its excellent chemical resistance, toughness, and low moisture absorption. Laurolactam is synthesized by reacting lauric acid with ammonia, followed by ring closure. It is also produced through the Beckmann rearrangement of dodecanone oxime. Laurolactam is a key monomer in the production of nylon-12, which is used in a wide range of applications, including automotive parts, pipes, and fibers. Its excellent properties, such as its high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and low water absorption, make it a valuable material for these applications. The study of laurolactam is important for understanding the properties and applications of nylon-12. Research focuses on improving the synthesis process, developing new applications, and exploring the potential of laurolactam in other areas, such as biomaterials and pharmaceuticals.'
