This has been achieved by a selective aromatic nucleophilic substitution of different fluoroarenes by N-H-substituted N-heterocyclic imines (NHIs) at ambient conditions without any additional reagent. Solid-state molecular structure analysis reveals the elongation of the central C-N bond of the imine functionality, which is consistent with the push-pull nature of these imines. The push-pull nature of these imines is further validated by computational studies.Chemistry, OrganicChemistryaryl fluoridesone‐pot reactionnnucleophilic substitutionpush–pull iminessynthetic designcomplexesimidazolin-2-iminatocopolymerizationnorbornenechemistryFacile One-Pot Assembly of Push-Pull Imines by a Selective C-F Substitution Process in Aryl Fluoridestext::journal::journal article::research article
