Abstract
N-Vinyllactams of the general formula I ##STR1## where n is from 1 to 3, are prepared by a process which comprises reaction of a lactam of the general formula II ##STR2## where n is from 1 to 3, with from 10 to 90 percent by weight of an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution with distillation at from 50.degree. to 250.degree. C. and from 1 to 100 mbar and with a residence time of from 0.1 to 5 hours and subsequent reaction with acetylene at from 60.degree. to 250.degree. C. and from 1 to 100 bar.
