Procedure

A solution of KCN (3g, 0.046 mol) in a minimum of water was added to a solution of benzo[b]quinolizinium bromide (10 g; 0.0385 mol) in 200 ml water. The resulting solid was extracted with an equal volume of methylene chloride. The above organic layer was heated and a solution of bromine (6.4 g) in methylene chloride was added. The resulting yellow solid was isolated, dissolved in ethanol/water, and the resulting solution was treated with sodium perchlorate solution. The perchlorate salt was filtered and recrystallized from ethanol to afford 2 g of 6-cyano-benzo[b]quinolizinium perchlorate (Formula II: R1 =R7 =H; R2 =CN; X- =ClO4-) as a solid.
