Pure cyclododecanone can then be converted into cyclododecanone oxime, which yields laurolactam after Beckmann rearrangement. Laurolactam is the precursor to several plastics, such as polyamide 12, which is also known as nylon 12.
Cyclododecanone can be transformed into cyclododecanone oxime and subsequently undergo a Beckmann rearrangement to form laurolactam. Lauro lactam acts as the precursor for several plastics, including polyamide 12, which is also known as nylon 12.
