✦ Synopsis

Continuous flow methodology is described which allows the in situ generation of the highly effective oxidising agent HOFÁMeCN from fluorine and wet acetonitrile and immediate reaction with alkenes to afford epoxides in high yield. The HOFÁMeCN continuous flow oxidising system provides an environmentally benign process that is suitable for large scale synthesis and is atom efficient, because the only by-product is hydrogen fluoride which, in principle, could be recycled to produce fluorine by electrolysis.

## Abstract Oscillatory flow reactors (OFRs) are a novel type of continuous reactor, consisting of tubes containing equally spaced orifice plate baffles. An oscillatory motion is superimposed upon the net flow of the process fluid, creating flow patterns conducive to efficient heat and mass transfe
