The pyridine-enabled cross dehydrogenative coupling of sp<sup>2</sup> C-H bonds of polyfluoroarenes and unactivated sp<sup>3</sup> C-H bonds of amides was achieved <i>via</i> a copper-promoted process with good functional group compatibility. This reaction showed great site-selectivity by favoring the sp<sup>2</sup> C-H bonds <i>ortho</i> to two fluoro atoms of arenes and the sp<sup>3</sup> C-H bonds of α-methyl groups over those of the α-methylene, β- or γ-methyl groups of the aliphatic amides. ...[more]
