  • Patent number: 4436660
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel and technically advanced process for producing 5-cyano-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine by reacting 5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine with a halocyanogen in the presence of strongly polar substances. 5-Cyano-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine can be used as starting material for producing 5-carbamyl-10(11)-oxo-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,f]azepine, which is known to have central-depressant, anticonvulsive and central-muscle-relaxing activity.

    Inventors: Ernst Aufderhaar, Klemenz Sprecher, Janos Zergenyi
  • Patent number: 4391980
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for inverting the configuration in optically active compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which Ar.sub.1 represents a monocyclic or polycyclic, carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical that has at least one ring of aromatic character and is bonded to the oxygen atom by way of a ring carbon atom, preferably of the ring of aromatic character, andR.sub.1 represents an optionally substituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic hydrocarbon radical,or the salts thereof, characterized in that an optically active compound of the formula ##STR2## having a R(+) or S(-) configuration, in which R.sub.2 represents a monocyclic or polycyclic, carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical, or an optionally substituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic hydrocarbon radical,is converted, by treating with a strong oxygen-containing inorganic or organic acid or halides thereof, into an optically active compound of the formula ##STR3## in which x.sup..crclbar.
