Predict the major product in following reaction:
In my view this reaction will proceed via benzyne intermediate and $\ce{NH2-}$ will act as a base and substitute one of the chlorine. After benzyne formation as $\ce{Cl}$ is ortho/para directing my view was that $\ce{NH2-}$ will attach to the meta position.
However, the answer key says overwise. Any ideas?
