In conclusion we have demonstrated the utility of simple
wellꢀdefined lowꢀvalent cobalt catalysts to carry out C–H
functionalization without the need for reducing agents or addiꢀ
tives. Moreover, for a wide scope of substrates antiꢀselectivity
was observed for this hydroarylation process. Additionally
deuteriumꢀlabeling studies and computational studies of our
simple catalysts have allowed us to gain greater mechanistic
insight than previously reported for cobalt catalyzed C–H
functionalization.
