<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing ε-caprolactam and cyclohexanone in a high selectivity by decomposing 1,1'-peroxydicyclohexylamine selectively, also reduce the using amount of the catalyst by reducing a catalyst concentration and/or performing the recycle of the catalyst. <P>SOLUTION: This method for producing ε-caprolactam and cyclohexanone is characterized by decomposing 1,1'-peroxydicyclohexylamine by using a catalyst of a lithium salt and an adduct consisting of an amide having a higher nucleophilicity than that of ε-caprolactam and a lower nucleophilicity than that of 1,1'-peroxydicyclohexylamine. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
