Case 4-11672/-Process for the rearrangement of 10,11-~oxy-10211-dihydro-dihydro-5H-dibenzlb,f]azeeine-5-carboxamide The present invention relates to a process for the rearrangement of 10,11-epoxy-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz[b,fl azepine-5-carboxamide of the formula ~` CONH2 to 10-oxo-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz~b,f]azepiQe-5-car-boxamide of the formula .

The rearrangement, catalysed by lithium salts, of epoxides to carbonyl compounds is known from J. Amer.
Chem. Soc. 90, 4193 (1968). Thus, for example, cyclohexene ' ~

oxide, or the l-methyl or 1,2-dimethyl derivative thereof, is rearranged with the aid of lithium bromide in benzene, in the presence of tri~n-butylphosphine oxide, by means of ring contraction to aldehydes or methyl ketones, which are derived from cyclopentane. The information is also given therein that l-methyl-cyclohexene oxide is rearranged in benzene in the presence of lithium perchlorate at 80 to 2-methyl-cyclohexanone with an 80%
yield, whilst under the same conditions 2,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanone is obtained with 10% yield from 1,2-dimethyl-cyclohexene oxide.
In J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 93, 1693-1700 (1971) is moreover `
described the conversion of cycloheptene oxide in the presence of lithium bromide and hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide in benzene at 80C, with cycloheptanone being obtained with 26% yield. Cycloheptanone is obtained with 17% yield with the use of lithium perchlorate. According to J. Org. Chem. 34, 2355-58 (1969), exo-bicyclo[4.2.0]-octene-7 oxide is rearranged, by the action of lithium iodide, by means of ring contraction to bicyclo[4.1.0]
heptane 7-carboxaldehyde.
From Acta Chemica Scandinavica 18, 1551-1552, (1964) is known the isomerisation of aliphatic epoxides by means of a mixture of methyl iodide and sodium iodide in dimethyl-formamide, by 4 hours' refluæing, in quantitative yield to the corresponding ketones. Finally, the isomerisation of epoxycyclohexane, dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide~ by means of sodium iodide and n-propyl iodide to cyclohexanone in 90% yield is described in Chemical Communications 1968, 227-229. The analogous application of these ~wo reactions to the compound of the formula I yielded, according to the thin-layer chromatogram using silica gel plates with ethyl acetate as the eluant, in the first case a product which ':

contained only traces oF the compoun~ o-F the ~ormula Tl, whilst in the second case no corresponding compound was de~ec~able. I;urthermore, it was asc~rtained that the rearrangement, glven in the foregoing as being known, o~ l-me~hyl-cyclohexene oxide in benzene, in the -presence of lithium perchlorate, to
2-methylcyclohexanone yielded on analogous application to the compound of the formula I a product which, according to the thin-layer chromatogram using silica gel plates with ethyl acetate as the eluant, contained only traces of the compound of the formula II.
It has now been found that, surprisingly, the rearrangement of 10,11-epoxy-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenz~b,f]azepine-5-carboxamide of the formula I to 10-oxo-10,11-dihydro-51-1-dibenzLb,f]azepin-5-carboxamide of the formula II can be performed by means of a bromide or iodide of lithium, magnesium ; or calcium, without an addition of methyl iodide or n-propyl iodide being ; necessary. The iodides of the stated metals are preferred for the purpose.

The rearrangement according to the invention i5 performed in a solvent, for example in an unsubstituted or halogen-substituted hydrocarbon of aliphatic or aromatic character, such as in a halo-lower alkane such as chloro-lower alkane, ~or example methylene chloride, -carbon tetrachloride, ethylene chloride or difluoro-chloromethane, preferably however in chloroform. As solvents of aromatic character are mentioned for example benzene and chlorobenzene~ It can be advantageous to raise the solubility of the stated salts in the respective solvent by the addition of a further solvent. Suitable such solvents are preferably those of polar character, for instance tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, or a derivative of a phosphorus acid amide, for example hexamethyl-- phosphoric acid triamide. The amount of polar solvent added varies depending on the amount of salt used, and up to 1 mol of further solvent per mol of employed salt can be used.
Processing of the reaction mixture in the customary manner yields the rearrangement product in good yield and in an excellent degree of purity.
The reaction temperature is within a range of 20 -120C, preferably between 40 and 80C. The compounds of the formulae I and II are known.
The organic substances or the compoùnds of the stated salts with organic substances to be used in the process according to the invention are known, or, in the case where they are new, they can be obtained by methods known per se. Thus, for example, a magnesium salt-di-lower alkyl etherate, for example magnesium iodide diethyl etherate, to be used in the process according to the invention, can be obtained by reaction of magnesium chips in a lower dialkyl ether, for example diethyl ether, with iodine.
