Laurolactam

Description:
Laurolactam, with the CAS number 947-04-6, is a cyclic amide that serves as a key intermediate in the production of nylon 12, a type of polyamide. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a lactam ring formed from the amino acid lauric acid. Laurolactam is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. The substance exhibits a melting point that is relatively low compared to other lactams, making it easier to process in industrial applications. Laurolactam is known for its stability under normal conditions, but it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its properties make it valuable in the synthesis of polymers, particularly in the textile and automotive industries, where nylon 12 is utilized for its durability and flexibility. Additionally, safety data indicates that while it may cause irritation upon contact, it is generally handled with standard safety precautions in industrial settings.
