Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 10 g LiAlH4 in 400 ml of dry ether a solution of 8 g of 2-cyano-1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydro-pyridino[1,2-a]-dibenzo[c,f]-azepine (axial) in 300 ml of THF is added. Then the mixture is refluxed for 30 minutes, whereupon it is cooled by means of ice. After that 40 ml of water are added to the mixture carefully so as to hydrolyse the excess of LiAlH4. The resulting precipitate is filtered off after which the filtrate is evaporated.
