Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of lactames according to the so-called "Beckmann rearrangement" which consists in isomerizing oximes in a sulfuric solution, the weight ratio percentage of sulfuric acid to the combined amount of sulfuric acid and water being raised to a value above that of the sulfuric solution feed.
