The invention provides a method for preparing 4-amino-
adamantanecarboxylic acid. 4-carbonyl-
adamantanecarboxylic acid, five to ten N of NH<3> / MeOH solutions and
sodium borohydride are firstly weighed, the 4-carbonyl-
adamantanecarboxylic acid and the NH<3> / MeOH solutions are added into a reaction vessel and stirred at
room temperature, reaction liquid is cooled to -5 DEG C to 2 DEG C, the
sodium borohydride is added, stirring is carried out for two to six hours, the reaction liquid is spin-dried, water is added for
dissolution, stirring is carried out, PH is adjusted to five to six through
hydrochloric acid, stirring continues, the reaction liquid is extracted two to five times through first organic solvents, and the first organic solvents are combined. After spin-
drying, second organic solvents and water are added into solids for
dissolution, stirring is carried out for four to ten hours at
room temperature, suction
filtration is carried out, and the 4-amino-adamantanecarboxylic acid is obtained after
solid products are dried. No high-
pressure vessel is adopted, reactions are carried out in a common vessel, no
noble metal catalyst is adopted, cost is lowered, no
hydrogen gas reduction is adopted, high
operability is achieved, and the industrial application prospect is achieved.
