Abstract

Provided is a method for preparing 8-aminooctanoic acid. Starting from diethyl 2-(6-halohexyl)malonate (III), a crude product of 8-aminooctanoic acid is obtained by a condensation reaction with phthalimide, hydrolysis with dilute sulfuric acid, decarboxylation, and deprotection. High-purity 8-aminooctanoic acid is then obtained by recrystallization in a solvent. The method has the advantages of simplified process, easy availability of raw materials, high yield, ease of separation and purification, less waste, cost-efficiency, ease of industrialization, and the like.
