The rates of C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–H activation to yield cobalt-aryl products and subsequent aryl isomerization were influenced by the electronic properties of the arene; the relatively electron-poor arene 3-fluorobenzotrifluoride underwent C(sp<sup>2</sup>)–H activation and isomerization of the cobalt-aryl more than 70 times faster than the more electron-rich substrate, 3-fluoro-<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>,α-trimethylbenzeneacetamide.
