Catalytic cross-coupling is a valuable tool for forming new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds, allowing access to a variety of structurally diverse compounds However, for this methodol. to reach its full potential, precise control over all competing cross-coupling sites in poly-functionalized building blocks is required. Carbon-fluorine bonds are one of the most stable bonds in organic chem., with oxidative addition at C-F being much more difficult than at other C-halide bonds. As such, the development of methods to chemoselectively functionalize the C-F position in poly-halogenated arenes would be very challenging if selectivity was to be induced at the oxidative addition step. However, metal-halide complexes exhibit different trends in reactivity to the parent haloarenes, with metal-fluoride complexes known to be very reactive towards transmetalation. In this current work, we sought to exploit the divergent reactivity of Ni-Cl and Ni-F intermediates to develop a chemoselective C-F functionalization protocol, where selectivity is controlled by the transmetalation step. Our exptl. studies highlight that such an approach is feasible, with a number of nickel catalysts shown to facilitate Hiyama cross-coupling of 1-fluoronaphthalene under base-free conditions, while no cross-coupling with 1-chloronaphthalene occurred. Computational and exptl. studies revealed the importance of reversible C-Cl oxidative addition for the development of selective C-F functionalization, with ligand effects on the potential for reversibility also presented.
