Procedure

A closed pressure tube charged with 3-fluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile (10.0 g; 52.9 mmol) and liquid NH3 (60 mL) was heated for 6 days at 90° C. The tube was cooled to −60° C. and opened. The mixture was allowed to stir for 1 h at rt, washed with brine, extracted with EtOAc, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated.
