Abstract
Recent advances in cooperative chemistry have shown the potential of heterobimetallic complexes combining an alkali-metal with an earth abundant divalent transition metal for the functionalisation of synthetically relevant aromatic molecules via deprotonative metalation. Pairing sodium with cobalt (II), here we provide an overview of the reactivity of bimetallic [NaCo(HMDS)3] [HMDS = N(SiMe3)2] towards C-H and C-F functionalisation of a wide range of perfluorinated molecules. These studies also uncover the enormous potential of this heterobimetallic base to perform Co-H exchanges with excellent selectivity and exceptional stoichiometric control as well as shedding light on the key role played by the alkali-metal.
