On reaction with carbon disulphide and tetramethylammonium fluoride in dimethylformamide, pentafluorobenzonitrile undergoes nucleophilic substitution reactions, resulting eventually in trifluoromethylthio substituted polyfluorobenzonitrile. 2,4-Dinitrofluorobenzene and pentafluorobenzene undergo similar substitutions, however, the product mixtures are much more complex.
