After cooling to 150°, the solid mass is dissolved in about 250 ml of boiling dimethylformamide. The mixture is left to cool, poured into 800 ml of ice-water and extracted three times with 500 ml of chloroform each time. The organic extracts are washed with 250 ml of 2 N hydrochloric acid and three times with 500 ml of water each time, dried in the presence of active carbon and evaporated. The residue is dissolved in about 1 l of methanol. The solution is concentrated to a volume of 250 ml, treated with active carbon and cooled to 5°. The precipitated material is filtered off under suction and dried, there being obtained 7-cyano-3,4-dihydro-4-methyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5(1H)-dione as white crystals of melting point 256°-258°.
