Synthesis of Substituted and Condensed Tetrahydrospiro[benzo-2-azepinecyclohexanes] from 1-Cyano- and 1-Carbamoyl-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-spiro[benzo-2-azepine-3,1′-cyclohexanes]

Substitution of the nitrile group by hydroxylamine and hydrazine has been effected in 1-cyanodihydrospiro[benzo-2-azepine-3,1′-cyclohexane]. From the 1-cyano and 1-hydrazino derivatives tetrahydrospiro{1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-a]benzoazepine-5,1′-cyclohexanes} have been obtained. It was established that 1-carbamoyldihydrospiro[benzo-2-azepine-3,1′-cyclohexanes] are converted under the conditions of the Hoffmann reaction into spiro{diaziridino[3,1-a]benzo-2-azepine-3,1′-cyclohexane{, and is reduced by sodium borohydride to the tetrahydro derivative.
