ε-Caprolactam and δ-valerolactam are important commodity chemicals used in the manufacture of nylons, with millions of tons produced annually. Biological production of these highly valued chemicals has been limited due to a lack of enzymes that cyclize ω-amino fatty acid

A series of 3-substituted 2-piperidinone (delta-valerolactam) and hexahydro-2H-azepin-2-one (epsilon-caprolactam) derivatives were prepared and evaluated as anticonvulsants in mice. In the 2-piperidinone series, 3,3-diethyl compound 7b is the most effective anticonvulsant against pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures (ED50, 37 mg/kg; PI (TD50/ED50), 4.46), and

Caprolactam is a monomer used for the synthesis of nylon-6, and a recombinant microbial strain for biobased production of nylon-6 was recently developed. An intracellular biosensor for caprolactam can facilitate high-throughput metabolic engineering of recombinant microbial strains. Because of the

Caprolactam is an important polymer precursor to nylon traditionally derived from petroleum and produced on a scale of 5 million tons per year. Current biological pathways for the production of caprolactam are inefficient with titers not exceeding 2 mg/L, necessitating

We studied the single-photon ionization of gas-phase δ-valerolactam (piperidin-2-one) and of its dimer using vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) synchrotron radiation coupled to a velocity map imaging electron/ion coincidence spectrometer. The slow photoelectron spectrum (SPES) of the monomer is dominated by the vibrational
