Abstract
A catalytic decarboxylative halogenation of (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids accommodates an exceptionally broad scope of substrates. The generated aryl radical intermediate enables divergent functionalization pathways: (1) atom transfer to access bromo- or iodo(hetero)arenes or (2) radical capture by copper and subsequent reductive elimination to generate chloro- or fluoro(hetero)arenes.
