This invention discloses a method for preparing and analyzing trans-4-aminocyclohexylacetic acid. The preparation method is as follows: 4-nitrophenylacetic acid undergoes
catalytic hydrogenation in a
solvent, followed by
filtration. The filtrate is then treated with acid to obtain a 4-aminophenylacetic
acid salt solution. The collected catalyst is activated. The 4-aminophenylacetic
acid salt solution is mixed with isopropanol,
barium hydroxide,
tetrabutylammonium bromide, 18-
crown ether-6, and
dibutyl phthalate. The activated catalyst is then added to initiate a
catalytic hydrogenation reaction. After the reaction, the reaction solution is cooled and filtered. The resulting
solid is mixed with a preheated dilute
sulfuric acid solution and stirred to form a
slurry. The mixture is then filtered, and the filtrate is neutralized and filtered again. The collected filtrate is concentrated and crystallized. The crystallized precipitate is washed and dried to obtain trans-4-aminocyclohexylacetic acid. The method provided by this invention has high reaction efficiency, mild conditions, and is suitable for industrial production. It yields high product purity and reliability. Furthermore, the analytical method provided by this invention is accurate and reliable.
