of Pt-catalyzed methylation of polyfluorinated arenes as a means to generate partially fluorinated aromatic building blocks. The reaction is selective for cleavage of C−F bonds ortho to an imine substituent and allows for preferential cleavage of C−F bonds in the presence of considerably weaker bonds (e.g., C−Br). We report herein the proposed mechanism for this reaction. Initial C−Factivation generates
