The fluorination of 4-methylmorpholine over cobalt (III) fluoride: The isolation and characterisation of some novel polyfluoro-4-methylmorpholines by mass …
4-Methylmorpholine has been fluorinated with cobalt (iii) fluoride to give ten highly fluorinated morpholines and one minor breakdown product. Mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy (1H and 19F) were utilised extensively in the assignment of product structures. A cation-radical mechanism is proposed.
