Abstract: 1. Claims for the Contracting States : BE, CH, DE, FR, GB, IT, LI, LU, NL, SE A 5-substituted 9-cyanomethylene-dithieno-[3,4-b:4',3'-e]azepine of the general formula I  see diagramm : EP0050212,P13,F1  where R**1 and R**2 are hydrogen or halogen, especially chlorine or bromine, and A is -NR**3 R**4 , where R**3 and R**4 , together with the nitrogen atom linking them, are a 5-membered to 7-membered saturated ring, which may contain nitrogen or oxygen as a further hetero-atom, an additional nitrogen present being unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl, where alkyl and alkoxy are of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylmethyl, where cycloalkyl is of 3 to 7 carbon atoms or alkynyl of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and may additionally be substituted by oxygen in the form of an N-oxide, or A is -NHR**5 , where R**5 is aminoalkyl of 2 to 7 carbon atoms, the amine nitrogen being unsubstituted or substituted by lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or being a constituent of a 5-membered to 7-membered saturated ring, which may contain nitrogen or oxygen as a further hetero-atom, a nitrogen present being substituted by lower alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or hydroxyalkyl of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, and its physiologically tolerated acid addition salts. 1. Claims for the Contracting State : AT A process for the preparation of a 5-substituted 9-cyanomethylene-dithieno-[3,4-b:4'.3'-e]azepine of the general formula I  see diagramm : EP0050212,P14,F1  where R**1 and R**2 are hydrogen or halogen, especially chlorine or bromine, and A is -NR**3 R**4 , where R**3 and R**4 , together with the nitrogen atom linking them, are a 5-membered to 7-membered saturated ring, which may contain nitrogen or oxygen as a further hetero-atom, an additional nitrogen present being unsubstituted or substituted by alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl, where alkyl and alkoxy are of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl or cycloalkylmethyl, where cycloalkyl is of 3 to 7 carbon atoms or alkynyl of 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and may additionally be substituted by oxygen in the form of an N-oxide, or A is -NHR**5 , where R**5 is aminoalkyl of 2 to 7 carbon atoms, the amine nitrogen being unsubstituted or substituted by lower alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms or being a constituent of a 5-membered to 7-membered saturated ring, which may contain nitrogen or oxygen as a further hetero-atom, a nitrogen present being substituted by lower alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms or hydroxyalkyl of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, and its physiologically tolerated acid addition salts, wherein a compound of the formula II see diagramm : EP0050212,P14,F2  where R**1 and R**2 have the meanings given in the case of formula I and Z is a nucleofugic leaving group, is reacted with a nucleophile AH, where A has the meanings given in the case of formula I, and, if desired, the resulting compound is converted into the N-oxide and/or into the acid addition salt of a physiologically tolerated acid.
