Abstract
The process of making a catalyst for the polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone by contacting a phosphonium halide, an alkali metal pyrrolidonate and carbon dioxide in a mol ratio of about 1:0.1-2:0.1-0.5 and the polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone with said catalyst. The alkali metal pyrrolidonate may be prepared by reacting an alkali metal hydroxide with 2-pyrrolidone. The polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone in the presence of ths catalyst system produces poly-2-pyrrolidone of high molecular weight.
