A process for the preparation of the trans - stereoisomers of the 4 - amino methyl cyclohexane - 1 - carbonsaeure

摘要

A trans isomer of 4-cyanoncyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid or its lower alkyl ester is reduced in a solvent in the presence of a hydrogenating catalyst, and hydrolyzing the produced ester in case the starting trans-isomer is a lower alkyl ester, then the trans-4-aminomethyl-cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid is recovered from the reaction mixture.
