Electrochemical fluorination of N,N-diethylcyclohexylamine and N-ethyldicyclohexylamine gave the corresponding F-amines together with several other compounds arising from incomplete fluorination and fragmentation reactions.In the case of N,N-diethylcyclohexylamine yields of 51-52percent were obtained and most of the reaction products were isolated and identified.With N-ethyldicyclohexylamine a lower yield (16percent) was observed; The resultant reaction mixture was too complex to allow the identification of its components.Comments are made about the reaction mechanism, and NMR and IR data are reported for identified compounds.
