Abstract

A series of new Mg(ii) amides featuring a bulky β-diketiminate backstop ligand, has been synthesised. These complexes are demonstrated to be excellent sources of nucleophilic amides that can participate in rapid C-F activation of several fluoroarenes at room temperature or using microwave assistance, leading to the installment of synthetically important C-N bonds via nucleophilic substitution.
