“…41 and Chirik, 64 and by Davies, Macgregor, and McMullin. 65 In addition, a perspective focusing on the activation and functionalization of C−H and C−F bonds in fluoroarenes by main group elements has recently been published by Hevia et al 66 In this section, we address the origins of selectivity between different positions in a particular fluorine-substituted benzene ring for activation by transition metals, for which there is rich experimental evidence. There is little (if any) experimental information about competition between different isomeric fluorobenzenes, e.g., between 1,2-C 6 F 2 H 4 , 1,3-C 6 F 2 H 4 , and 1,4-C 6 F 2 H 4 , although computational studies provide predictions.…”
