A chemoselective C(sp2 )-C(sp2 ) coupling of sufficiently electron-deficient fluorinated arenes and functionalized N-aryl-N'-silyldiazenes as masked aryl nucleophiles is reported. The fluoride-promoted transformation involves the in situ generation of the aryl nucleophile decorated with various sensitive functional groups followed by a stepwise nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SN Ar). These reactions typically proceed at room temperature within minutes. This catalytic process allows for the functionalization of both coupling p
