41. However, a numberof interesting (chelate assisted)C-Hactivationprocesses that couple arenes with olefins exist. For selected examples, see: (f) Murai, S.; Kakiuchi, F.; Sekine, S.; Tanaka, Y.; Kamatani, A.; Sonoda, M.; Chatani, N. Nature 1993, 366, 529.

72. The usage of bromobenzene as reoxidant in Rh catalysis was previously postulated; for example see: Barrett, A. G. M.; Itoh, T.; Wallace, E. M. Tetrahedron Lett. 1993, 34, 2233.

74. During the preparation of this manuscript, an insightful report appeared describing the Pd catalyzed arylation on monosubstituted arenes: (a) Wang, X.; Leow, D.; Yu, J.-Q. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 13864. In comparison with our work, their transformation is more regioselective (up to 99% para selectivity), but their kinetic isotopic data tend to indicate an electrophilic attack mechanism (kH/kD=1).Anearly work describing the carbonylation of arenes by Rh C-H activation reports a more related kH/kD = 3
