Abstract

We report a C-F reductive elimination from a characterized first-row aryl metal fluoride complex. Reductive elimination from the presented nickel(III) complexes is faster than C-F bond formation from any other characterized aryl metal fluoride complex.

Keywords: aryl fluorides; fluorination; nickel; reductive elimination.
