Abstract

Pairing iron bis(amide) Fe(HMDS)2 with Na(HMDS) to form new sodium ferrate base [(dioxane)0.5·NaFe(HMDS)3] (1) enables regioselective mono and di-ferration (via direct Fe-H exchange) of a wide range of fluoroaromatic substrates under mild reaction conditions. Trapping of several ferrated intermediates has provided key insight into how synchronised Na/Fe cooperation operates in these transformations. Furthermore using excess 1 at 80oC switches on a remarkable cascade process inducing the collective 2-fold C-H/3-fold C-F bond activations, where each C-H bond is transformed to a C-Fe bond whereas each C-F bond is transformed into a C-N bond.
