Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of Schiff's bases which contain amino groups, of the formula ##STR1## wherein n is 3 to 12, by reacting cyclic lactams of the formula ##STR2## wherein n is 3 to 12, or of their ring-opened polymers of the formula ##STR3## wherein n is 3 to 12 and m is 1 to 100,000, with inorganic bases at elevated temperature, the reaction being carried out in the presence of inert, high-boiling suspending agents.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
In a process for the preparation of Schiff's bases of the formula ##STR7## wherein n is 3 to 12, by reacting cyclic lactams of the formula ##STR8## wherein n is 3 to 12, on their ring-opened polymers of the formula ##STR9## wherein n is 3 to 12 and m is 1 to 100,000, with an inorganic base at an elevated temperature, wherein the improvement comprises the reaction being carried out in the presence of inert, high-boiling suspending agents selected from the group consisting of high-boiling aliphatic hydrocarbons, high-boiling aromatic hydrocarbons, mixtures of said aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, high-boiling polymeric hydrocarbons and high-boiling mineral oil, wherein the amount of the suspending agent is not less than 25% by weight relative to the mixture of all reaction components, to result in a stirrable reaction mixture.
