The Fe(II) complex Cp*Fe(CO)(NCMe)Ph (Cp* = η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) is shown to mediate facile and highly regioselective C-H activation of aromatic substrates including benzene, furan, thiophene, thiazole, and 2-methylfuran. Experimental and computational evidence suggest a mechanism for C-H activation that involves NCMe dissociation, multiple spin intersystem crossings, C-H bond coordination, and C-H bond cleavage by a σ-bond metathesis reaction.
