Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-(p-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-3-benzazepine of Example 1 (15 g, 0.049 mole) and acrylonitrile (5.2 g, 0.098 mole) in isopropanol (50 ml) was stirred at reflux (95° C.) for twenty hours. The reaction mixture was cooled then concentrated to an oil (17 g, 96%) of which 3.5 g was distilled to an oil of 3-(2-cyanoethyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-(p-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-3-benzazepine (2.6 g, 235°-237° C./0.1 mm).
