Abstract: This paper reports the N-alkylation of α-pyrrolidone or ε-caprolactam with alkylhalide under microwave irradiation by using solid reagents as a supporter.Ten lactam deriva-tives were obtained. The effects of basic supporter,reaction time and microwave power onthe alkvlation were discussed.

Key words: microwave irradiation, lactam, N-alkylation, alkylhalide
