- activation, called concerted metal deprotonation (CMD) [5][6][7]. In a concerted mechanism, the Pd atom of the catalyst forms a sigma bond to an aromatic carbon, which increases the acidity of the adjacent (alpha) proton. This allows for the simultaneous abstraction of this proton by a carboxylate ligand. A

- reductive ligand coupling (RLC) pathway would be suppressed due to reduced fluxionality of the carboxylate ligand on I(III). These important findings are expected to enhance the use of aryl iodane(III)-dicarboxylates for constructing fluorinated azaheterocycles with improved selectivity and control. Oxygen
