The crude product of the step (1) above, 2-acetyl-4-methylcyclohexanone, was dissolved in 35 ml of ethanol.

Deposited crystals were filtered out and recrystallized from a mixed solvent of methanol and water. There was obtained 4.22 g of 4-cyano-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-1,7-dimethyl-3-oxoisoquinoline.
