The invention relates to a method for preparing ε-caprolactam comprising deacylating N-acyl-6-aminocaproic acid and forming ε-caprolactam. The deacylation may be carried out chemically or biocatalytically. The invention further relates to a host cell, comprising a recombinant vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an enzyme capable of catalysing the formation of 6-aminocaproic acid from N-acyl-6-aminocaproic acid.
