Abstract: | The interaction of the nitroxide radical traps (Tempo and Dmpo) and radicals produced in the electrophilic fluorination of olefins (styrene and alpha-methylstyrene) and Selectfluor (1-chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo2.2.2]octanebis(tetrafluoroborate) (F-TEDA-BF(4)) (1)) was investigated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Tempo succeeded in intercepting the radical cationic intermediates and the radical adduct ions were detected at m/z 260 (for styrene) and m/z 274 (for alpha-methylstyrene). Dmpo could also intercept the fluorine radical and radical adduct ions were detected at m/z 131, 132 and 152. The interception of the radical cationic intermediates and fluorine radical is good evidence for the presence of a single-electron transfer mechanism in the electrophilic fluorination. |
