By subjecting a mixture of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo-[a,d]cycloheptene-5-carboxaldehyde (2.2 g), described in Example 168, and 5-aminovaleric acid ethyl ester (1.45 g) and zinc dust (3.0 g) in 3.0 ml of acetic acid and 100 ml of benzene, to a two hour reflux, followed by removal of the excess zinc by filtration, addition of dilute sodium hydroxide solution to render the mixture alkaline and extraction with benzene affords the cyclic amide, N-[(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5-yl)methyl]-2-piperidone, γmaxCHCl3 1650 cm-1, as an oil. Further treatment of this oil according to the conditions of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction described in Example 2, yields a product identical with the quaternary salt, 1,3,4,5,6,10,11,15b-octahydrobenzo[6,7]cyclohepta[1,2,3-de]pyrido[2,1-a]isoquinolinium chloride obtained in Example 2.
