Caprolactams are cyclic amides of caproic acid. Caproic acid is the carboxylic acid derived from hexane with the general formula C5H11COOH. Caprolactam is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Caprolactam is an amine, bitter, and spicy tasting compound found in sunflower, which makes caprolactam a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Caprolactam (CPL) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)5C(O)NH. This colourless solid is a lactam (a cyclic amide) of caproic acid. Global demand for this compound is approximately 5 million tons per year, and the vast majority is used to make Nylon 6 filament, fiber, and plastics .1-Aza-2-cycloheptanone1,6-Hexalactam1,6-Hexolactam2-Azacycloheptanone2-Azepanone2-Ketohexamethyleneimine2-Ketohexamethylenimine2-Oxohexamethyleneimine2-Oxohexamethylenimine2-Perhydroazepinone2H-Azepin-2-one, hexahydro-2H-Azepin-7-one, hexahydro-6-amino-hexanoic acid lactam6-Aminocaproic acid lactam6-Aminohexanoic acid cyclic lactam6-Aminohexanoic acid lactam6-Caprolactam6-HexanelactamAkulonAlkamidAmilan cm 1001Aminocaproic lactamAza-2-cycloheptanoneazepan-2-oneBonamidCapran 77CCaprolactamCaprolactam monomerCaprolattameCaprolon vCapronChemloncis-Hexahydro-2-azepinoneCyclohexanone iso-oximeDanamidDurethan BKE-caprolactamE-caprolactumEpsilon-caprolactamErtalon 6saExtrom 6NGamma-caprolactamGrilonHexahydro-2-azepinoneHexahydro-2H-azepin-2-oneHexannic acidhexanoic acid-6-amino-lactamHexanolactamHexanone isoximeItamidKaprolitKaprolonKapromineKapronMaranyl F 114MetamidMiramid H 2Nipro (I)Nylon A1035sfOmega-caprolactumOrgamid rmnocdOrgamidePerhydroazepin-2-onePlaskin 8200Plaskon 201Polyamide pk 4Relon pRenyl MVSipas 60Spencer 401Spencer 601SteelonStilonStylonTarlon x-aTarlon XBTarnamid T 2Tarnamid T 27TNK 2G5Torayca N 6U-caprolactamUltramid BMKVidlonWidlonZytel 211C6H11NO113.1576113.084063979105-60-2O=C1CCCCCN1InChI=1S/C6H11NO/c8-6-4-2-1-3-5-7-6/h1-5H2,(H,7,8)JBKVHLHDHHXQEQ-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as caprolactams.
