experiments and DFT studies, we demonstrate that the aryl–Ru(II) species arising from initial C–H activation of the fluoroarene undergoes cyclometalation with the benzoate to generate an anionic Ru(II) intermediate. The enhanced lability of this intermediate, coupled with the electron-rich anionic Ru(II) metal center renders the oxidativeaddition of the aryl halide accessible. The role of an additional
