Popis: The effect of fluorine substituents on the regioselectivity of intramolecular reactions of mono- and difluorinated N,N-dimethylbenzylamines (1a–f) at palladium, to form palladacycles di-μ-acetatobis[o-dimethylaminomethyl-n-fluorophenyl-C,N)dipalladium(II) (2a–f) and di-μ-chlorobis[o-dimethylaminomethyl-n-fluorophenyl-C,N)dipalladium(II) (3a–e), has been investigated. When fluorinated substrates with two sites available for the C–H functionalization (1c and 1e) undergo cyclopalladation via a CMD mechanism (acetate-bridged palladacycles), they do not exhibit regioselectivity. In contrast, the same substrates exhibit complete regioselectivity for the C–H functionalization para to fluorine in cyclopalladation reactions that proceed via an SEAr mechanism (involving chloride-bridged palladacycles). X-ray crystal structures were obtained for all the palladacycles synthesized, and a structural analysis showed that the number and the position of the fluorine atoms on the aromatic ring have a marked effect on the “...
