Abstract

High quality polyamides are prepared from a mixture of an omega-aminonitrile, an oxygenated phosphorous catalyst, and water. When the reactor temperature reaches about 200 degrees to about 260 degrees C. continuously adding water, and continuously removing water vapor and ammonia until 15 to 75 grams of water have been added per 100 grams of omega-aminonitile, and then stopping the water addition and continuing the reaction until a high molecular weight polyamide is obtained.
