Abstract
Cyclic lactams are prepared by reacting aminocarbonitriles with water in the liquid phase in a fixed bed reactor in the presence of a catalyst which comprises a catalytically active oxide, which has no soluble constituents under the reaction conditions and which consists of shaped articles obtainable by shaping the oxide into shaped articles and, before or after said shaping, treating the oxide with from 0.1 to 30% by weight, based on the oxide, of an acid in which the oxide is sparingly soluble.
