Abstract
The invention relates to a method for synthesizing ω-aminoalkanoic acids or esters thereof from unsaturated natural fatty acids, passing through a monounsaturated dinitrile intermediate compound. The method of the invention is simple to carry out and, compared to other known methods, avoids the environmental constraints and economic disadvantages due to reaction by-products.
