Mechanistic Features in Al(I)-Mediated Oxidative Addition of Aryl C–F Bonds: Insights From Density Functional Theory Calculations

The oxidative addition of a range of robust aryl C–F bonds to a single Al(I) center supported by a (NacNac)− bidentate ligand ((NacNac)− = [ArNC(Me)CHC(Me)NAr]− and Ar = 2,6–Pr2iC6H3) have been explored by density functional theory calculations. Our calculations demonstrate that the Al(I) center-med...
