C-F and C-H bond activation of fluorobenzenes and fluoropyridines at transition metal centers: how fluorine tips the scales.
In this Account, we describe the transition metal-mediated cleavage of C-F and C-H bonds in fluoroaromatic and fluoroheteroaromatic molecules. The simplest reactions of perfluoroarenes result in C-F oxida tive addition, but C-H activation competes with C-F activation for partially fluorinated molecu...
