A combined experimental/computational investigation reveals that the cyclometalation of [PtMe2(DMSO)2], 1, by HC^N ligands proceeds via HC^N coordination through the N donor atom, oxidative addition of the arene C–H bond, and final dissociation of methane from a platinum hydride complex.

A palladium pre-catalyst, [Pd(PCy<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] is reported for the efficient and selective C–F alumination of fluorobenzenes with the aluminium(I) reagent [{(ArNCMe)<sub>2</sub>CH}Al] (<b>1</b>, Ar = 2,6-di-iso-propylphenyl). The catalytic protocol results in the transformation of sp<sup>2</sup> C–F bonds to sp<sup>2</sup> C–Al bonds and provides a route into reactive organoaluminium complexes (<b>2a-h</b>) from fluorocarbons. The catalyst is highly active. Reactions proceed within 5 minutes at 25 ºC (and at appreciable rates at even –50 ºC) and the scope includes low-fluorine-content substrates such as fluorobenzene, difluorobenzenes and trifluorobenzenes. The reaction proceeds with complete chemoselectivity (C–F vs C–H) and high regioselectivities ( >90% for C–F bonds adjacent to the most acidic C–H sites). The heterometallic complex [Pd(PCy<sub>3</sub>)(<b>1</b>)<sub>2</sub>] was shown to be catalytically competent. Catalytic C–F alumination proceeds with a KIE of 1.1–1.3. DFT calculations have been used to model potential mechanisms for C–F bond activation. These calculations suggest that two competing mechanisms may be in operation. Pathway 1 involves a ligand-assisted oxidative addition to [Pd(<b>1</b>)<sub>2</sub>] and leads directly to the product. Pathway 2 involves a stepwise C–H to C–F functionalisation mechanism in which the C–H bond is broken and reformed along the reaction coordinate, allowing it to act as a directing group for the adjacent C–F site. This second mechanism explains the experimentally observed regioselectivity. Experimental support for this C–H activation playing a key role in C–F alumination was obtained by employing [{(MesNCMe)<sub>2</sub>CH}AlH<sub>2</sub>] (<b>3</b>, Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) as a reagent in place of 1. In this instance, the kinetic C–H alumination intermediate could be isolated. Under catalytic conditions this intermediate converts to the thermodynamic C–F alumination product.
