The invention discloses a synthetic method for
aminomethylbenzoic acid. The synthetic method specifically comprises the following steps: adding 4-halomethyl
alkyl benzoate and
triethylamine, dropwiseadding
ethanol-water solution in which 2-amino-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole is dissolved while stirring, after a reaction is completed, evaporating solution until a lot of solids are separated out, cooling, filtering, and
drying to obtain 4-aminomethyl
alkyl benzoate; adding the 4-aminomethyl
alkyl benzoate to acid solution, reacting by stirring, cooling, adding water, and dropwise adding alkali until the solution is alkaline, and a lot of the solids are separated out, filtering, washing, and
drying to obtain the
aminomethylbenzoic acid. The synthetic method is moderate in
reaction conditions, less in side reactions, high in yield, low in cost, short in reaction and post-
processing time, low in
energy consumption, high in production efficiency, small in environmental
pollution, and simple in'three wastes' treatment, and suitable for the industrial production. -CN with strong
toxicity and an
organic solvent with strong
pollution are not used, and reaction raw materials are cheap in priceand easy to obtain.
