0.7 cm3 of thionyl chloride is added to a solution of 1 g of 8-aminooctanoic acid in 40 cm3 of methanol at a temperature in the region of -20° C. and stirring is maintained for 12 hours at a temperature in the region of 20° C. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa) at a temperature in the region of 35° C. 1.48 g of methyl 8-aminooctanoate hydrochloride is thus obtained in the form of a white solid.
