Pairing iron bis(amide) Fe(HMDS) 2 with Na(HMDS) to form new sodium ferrate base [(dioxane) 0.5 ⋅NaFe(HMDS) 3 ] ( 1 ) enables regioselective mono and di‐ferration (via direct Fe−H exchange) of a wide range of fluoroaromatic substrates under mild reaction conditions. Trapping of several ferrated intermediates has provided key insight into how synchronised Na/Fe cooperation operates in these transformations. Furthermore, using excess 1 at 80 °C switches on a remarkable cascade process inducing the collective twofold C−H/threefold C−F bond activations, where each C−H bond is transformed to a C−Fe bond whereas each C−F bond is transformed into a C−N bond.
