Reaction of difluoromethyl pentafluorophenyl sulfoxide with nucleophiles

Reactions of 1-(difluoromethanesulfinyl)pentafluorobenzene with sodium methoxide, sodium phenoxide, potassium hydrosulfide, and methylamine resulted in substitution of fluorine atom in the 4-position (in the reaction with methylamine, also in the 2-position). Treatment of the title compound with sodium hydroxide afforded pentafluorobenzene due to cleavage of the Carom‒S bond.
