Procedure
The concentration of the aqueous ammonia is preferably from 25 to 40%. It is used usually in an amount of from 10 to 40 moles, preferably from 20 to 30 moles, per mole of the 5-fluorobenzotrichloride. The reaction temperature is preferably from 90° to 120° C., and the reaction time is preferably form 5 to 20 hours. After completion of the reaction, the ammonia is recovered, and then the mixture is filtered. The filtrate is distilled to obtain the desired 5-fluorobenzonitrile.
