supporting information, p. 7545 - 7548 (2017/07/12)
Selective catalytic SNAr reaction of polyfluoroaryl C-F bonds with chloride is shown. Stoichiometric TMSCl makes the reaction exergonic and allows catalysis, which involves ground state elevation of chloride, aromatic donor-acceptor interactions, and stabilization of the Meisenheimer complex. Traditional cross-coupling of the products is now possible and demonstrates the utility.
POLYHALOAROMATIC EQUILIBRATIONS
Weigert, F. J.

Chromium oxide is a good catalyst for scrambling halogens among polyhaloaromatic compounds.Chloropentafluorobenzene and bromopentafluorobenzene disproportionate to hexafluorobenzene and the respective tetrafluorodihalobenzenes.Pentachloro- and pentafluoropyridines produce pyridines with intermediate numbers of both types of halogens.Cyano, trifluoromethyl and a single hydrogen can be present on the aromatic rings without interfering with the chemistry.
