Procedure: 3,4,5-Trichloro-trifluoromethylbenzene (0.681 g, 2.73 mmol), lithium fluoride (7.1 mg, 0.273 mmol) and N-methylpyrrolidone (1.8 ml) are mixed in an autoclave. The autoclave is cooled to −95° C. and then ammonia (1.3 g, 76.4 mmol) is added. The autoclave is then heated at 250° C. and with stirring for 4 h and is subsequently allowed to return to room temperature. The reaction product is extracted by washing with water and with dichloromethane and then the organic phase is evaporated, after having been dried. 0.453 g (1.97 mmol) of 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylaniline is obtained with a degree of conversion of the 3,4,5-trichloro-trifluoromethylbenzene of 97%, a ratio equal to 83/17 for the selectivity for 2,6-dlchloro-para-trifluoromethylaniline with respect to 2,6-dichloro-meta-trifluoromethylaniline and an 87% yield of 2,6-dichloro-para-trifluoromethylaniline. The autoclave is then heated at 250° C. to return to room temperature The reaction product is extracted by washing with water and with dichloromethane the organic phase is evaporated after having been dried

Procedure: After 44 mg (1.1 mmol) of 60% sodium hydride was added to a solution of 0.14 g (1 mmol) of 5-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-2-one in 5 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature, the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 minutes. To the mixture was added 0.25 g (1 mmol) of 3,4,5-trichlorobenzotrifluoride followed by heating a 80° C. for 6 hours. After cooling, the mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. After drying over magnesium sulfate, the extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product. The crude product was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 35 mg of 5-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-3-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoline-2-one. After cooling extracted with ethyl acetate After drying over magnesium sulfate the extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude product
