FIELD: chemistry. ^ SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method for synthesis of caprolactam from alkylcyanovalerate which involves bringing alkylcyanovalerate into contact with hydrogen in gaseous state in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst and a ring formation catalyst, and treatment after condensation of a gaseous stream containing the formed lactam in order to separate ammonium which may be present, the formed alcohol and/or the caprolactam solvent and extraction of caprolactam, where the hydrogenation catalyst includes a metal element or a mixture of metal elements selected from a group containing an active metal element in form of iron, ruthenium, rhodium, iridium, palladium, cobalt, nickel, chromium, osmium and platinum or several metals from this list, and the ring formation catalyst is porous aluminium oxide. ^ EFFECT: obtaining caprolactam without intermediate separation of alkylaminocaproate. ^ 10 cl, 5 ex, 1 tbl |
