Reaction Steps

260 g of 3-nitro-2,5-dichlorobenzotrifluoride, 130 ml of water and 10 g of tetraethylammonium chloride were introduced into an autoclave as the initial charge, and 120 ml of liquid ammonia were injected. The mixture was then heated to 130° C. and stirred at this temperature for 10 hours. After cooling, the batch was filtered off, the removed precipitate washed with water and dried to give 194 g of 2-amino-3-nitro-5-chloro-benzotrifluoride of melting point 67° C.
