Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime over modified molecular sieves
The vapour phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to epsilon -Caprolactum over silicoaluminophosphate (MSAPO-5, MSAPO-11) and MZSM-5 has been carried out. The yields of epsilon -Caprolactum were 72.0 and 81.5% at 96.0 and 100% conversion over ZnSAPO-11 and TiSAPO-11 molecular sieves, respectively.
