The residue is partitioned between diethyl ether and water, the ethereal solution separated, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried and evaporated, to give the 4-(3-cyanopropyl)-7,7-diphenyl-hexahydro-1,4-oxazepine melting at 89°-90°. (Analogously the 4-(4-cyanobutyl and 6-cyanohexyl)-7,7-diphenyl-hexahydro-1,4-oxazepines are prepared, melting at 67°-69° and showing an I.R. band at 2252cm-1 respectively).
