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.
