First regioselective cyclometalation reactions of cobalt in arylketones: C–H versus C–F activation?

Dalton Transactions Pub Date: 2008-09-05 DOI: 10.1039/B813419G

Abstract

Phenyl ketones react smoothly under mild conditions with low valent cobalt(I) adducts to form new and stable five-membered cobaltacycles via C–H and C–F activation.
