On the formation and crystal structures of α,ω-perfluoro-dimorpholinoalkanes

Abstract The results of the electrochemical fluorination (ECF) of α,ω-dimorpholinoalkanes with two to six CH 2 units between the morpholine rings are summarized. The crystal and molecular structures of the perfluorinated compounds are presented and discussed. Conclusions on the mechanism of electrochemical fluorination are drawn based on an ionic mechanism and a steric model.
