Procedure

In a system protected by a drying tube and in which a nitrogen atmosphere is maintained, lithium aluminum hydride (380 mg., 0.01 mole) is suspended in 15 ml. of dry, peroxide-free tetrahydrofuran. The mixture is stirred and heated to refluxing for 4 hours. After cooling in an ice-bath, the mixture is stirred while a solution of 5-(2-cyanoethylidene)-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (1.21 g., 0.005 mole) in 20 ml. of tetrahydrofuran is added dropwise over 20 minutes. The deep red solution is stirred for 1 hour in the cold and then hydrolyzed by the successive dropwise addition of water, 0.4 ml., 20% sodium hydroxide, 0.4 ml., and water, 1.0 ml. The granular precipitate is filtered and washed with absolute ether. The combined filtrate and washings are evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residual yellow oily base is dissolved in absolute alcohol and treated with a solution of maleic acid in absolute alcohol. Dilution with ether precipitates the hydrogen maleate as white crystals, m.p. 171°-173°C., dec. The yield of 5-(3-aminopropylidene)-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene hydrogen maleate is 0.45 g. (25%). Repeated crystallizations from mixtures of absolute alcohol-absolute ether gave an analytical sample melting at 176.5°- 177.5°C., dec.
