A one pot process for preparing l-(aminomethyl)-cyclohexaneacetic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof comprises the steps of hydrolysing 1-cyanocyclohexaneacetic acid ethyl ester with a potassium, sodium or lithium hydroxide to form a salt of 1-cyanocyclohexaneacetic acid; in-situ hydrogenating the salt of 1-cyanocyclohexaneacetic acid in the presence of a catalyst to form the salt of l-(aminomethyl)-cyclohexaneacetic acid; and isolating l-(aminomethyl)-cyclohexaneacetic acid.

A new process is described for the production of 1-(aminomethyl) cyclohexane acetic acid, a pharmaceutical agent used as an anticonvulsant. For this purpose a (1-cyanocyclohexyl)malonic acid dialkyl ester is decarbalkoxylated to the corresponding (1-cyanocyclohexyl) acetic acid alkyl ester, then transesterified with a benzyl alcohol and finally hydrogenated to form the end product.
