By using 2-fluoropyridine instead of pyridine as the starting material, a 19% conversion yield of perfluoropiperidine was obtained during the electrochemical fluorination process. At least ten products including perfluoropiperidine were characterised using repeated fractional distillation followed by GC and NMR analysis.
