5. In this article, C-H activation refers to transition-metal-catalyzed reactions that involve the cleavage of a C-H bond by an inner-sphere mechanism (see ref 1c). This definition excludes reactions that involve an outer-sphere mechanism, such as C-H insertions: (a) Modern Rhodium-Catalyzed Organic Reactions; Evans, P. A., Ed.; Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, 2005.

98. The low level of incorporation, compared to the amount of "abnormal" regioisomer observed with substituents para to the bromine and in particular with fluorine (Table 2, entry 21), might reflect a tendency of electron-withdrawing substituents to favour the 17c → 3 pathway: see refs 20c, e, and 23. Alternatively, an intermolecular H/D exchange with traces of water or another protic source could be operating: see ref 26e.
