Caprolactam-based ionic liquids show many advantages, such as the lower toxicity, lower cost, and a simple preparation process. In this work, caprolactam-based ionic liquids were prepared and adopted as catalysts for the transesterification of Jatropha oil with methanol. The results demonstrated that the SO3H-functional caprolactam-based ionic liquids have higher catalytic activity than those o...

Pseudomonas taiwanensis strain SJ9 is a caprolactam degrader, isolated from industrial wastewater in South Korea and considered to have the potential for caprolactam bioremediation. The genome of this strain is approximately 6.2 Mb (G+C content, 61.75%) with 6,010 protein-coding sequences (CDS), of which 46% are assigned to recognized functional genes. This draft genome of strain SJ9 will provi...

Discovered over a century ago, Beckmann rearrangement is still today fully compliant with all the green chemistry principles and consistent key aspects of sustainable development. Herein, we report on mechanochemical procedure allowing design new amide frameworks via an eco-efficient “cut-and-paste” process C–C C–N bonds oxime backbone. We combined inexpensive readily available reagents, such a...

This study looks at the effects on the dielectric behavior as result of the incorporation of ester sequences along the nylon 6 chains. The aliphatic polyesteramide copolymers and nylon 6 homopolymer were synthesized via anionic ring-opening copolymerization using the rotational molding technique by varying the ratio of the ε-caprolactam (CLA) and ε-caprolactone (CLO) comonomers. The ester units...
