Reaction Steps

80 g of pentafluoropyridine (Janssen) and 111.5 g of zinc power were added to 560 ml of 20% aqueous ammonia. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours, and then gently refluxed to remove water using a Dean-Stark trap, to obtain 60.4 g (yield: 84.5%) of the title compound.
