METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING AN OMEGA-AMINO ACID OR ESTER FROM A MONOUNSATURATED FATTY ACID OR ESTER

摘要

The invention relates to a method for synthesizing ?-amino-alkanoic acids or the esters thereof from natural unsaturated fatty acids passing through an intermediate ?-unsaturated nitrile compound. The method of the invention is simple to implement and, relative to known methods, avoids the environmental constraints and economic disadvantages resulting from the reaction by-products.
