Procedure: Sodium (3.7 g, 0.16 mole) was added to liquid ammonia (300 ml.) at 35° C. A catalytic amount of ferric nitrate was then added. After the solution had become grey in colour, ethyl bromide (17.4 g, 0.16 mole) and cyclooctyl cyanide (20.0 g, 0.14 mole) were added very slowly. The liquid ammonia was then allowed to evaporate over a period of 20 hours. Benzene and then water were added to the residue. The benzene layer was dried (MgSO4) and distilled to give 1-ethylcyclooctyl cyanide, bp. 130-132°/17 mm. were added very slowly to evaporate over a period of 20 hours Benzene and then water were added to the residue The benzene layer was dried (MgSO4) distilled
