Reaction of an Al‐centered anion with toluene proceeded to form C−H cleaved product with a perfect meta‐selectivity and a relatively small kinetic isotope effect (KIE, k H /k D =1.51). DFT calculations suggested a two‐step reaction mechanism and electronically controlled meta‐selectivity arising from the electron‐donating methyl group. The reaction with other mono‐substituted arenes was also investigated.
