After the reaction has taken place, the reaction mixture is extracted as in Example 1 and the solution obtained of monomethyl 1,1-cycloheptane-diacetate azide is rearranged in toluene to the isocyanate. The methyl 1-isocyanatomethyl-1-cycloheptane-acetate obtained is boiled for 3 hours under reflux in 20% hyrochloric acid. Upon evaporaton in a vacuum, 1aminomethyl-1 -cycloheptane-acetic acid separates out in the form of its hydrochloride, which is recrystallised form methanol/acetone/ethyl acetate; m.p. 69°-72° C.
