METHOD FOR PREPARING N-SUBSTITUTED LACTAMS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC C07D201/14 C07D223/10 

FIELD: chemistry of lactams' derivatives.

SUBSTANCE: the present innovation deals with obtaining N-(2-chloroalkyl)- and N-alkyl-aromatic derivatives of lactams of the following general formula: , where R=H, Cl, R'=(CH₂)₃, (CH₂)₅ which could be modifiers of unsaturated carbon-chain caoutchoucs and rubber mixtures based upon them. The suggested method for obtaining the mentioned N-substituted lactams deals with combining N-chlorolactams and allyl benzene, moreover, as N-lactams one should apply either N-chlorobutyrolactam or N-chlorocaprolactam. The process should be carried out at molar ratio of N-chlorolactam to allyl benzene being equal to 1-1.15:1, at availability of a catalyzer as mono-tertiary-butylperoxy-α-methylmethoxyethoxyethyl ether of ethylene glycol taken at the quantity of 0.4-4.0% weight, in the medium of inert solvent, for example, chlorobenzene at 100-125° C for about 15-20 min. The innovation enables to shorten terms of reaction by 20-30 times, simplify the way for obtaining target products and widen the assortment of the obtained compounds, as well.

EFFECT: higher efficiency.
