Abstract

Reactions of fluoroarene-Cr(CO)₃ complexes with SmI₂ and carbonyl compounds in THF/HMPA at-40–60°C afforded the corresponding radical aromatic substitution products in high yield. Compared to the corresponding chloroarene-Cr(CO)₃ complexes, fluoroarene-Cr(CO)₃ complexes showed a higher efficiency and slightly lower regioselectivity.
