The interaction of the nitroxide radical traps (Tempo and Dmpo) and radicals produced in the electrophilic fluorination of olefins (styrene and α ‐methylstyrene) and Selectfluor (1‐chloromethyl‐4‐fluoro‐1,4‐diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]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 α ‐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.
