50. It is important to use only 1 equiv of potassium fluoride in the first step. If more than 1 equiv of KF is used, potassium fluoride will be present upon addition of aqueous HF, will generate KHF2, and will deter the complete fluorination of the "ate" complex.
51. Paweleke, G. J. Fluorine Chem. 1989, 42, 429. The reaction is high yielding but necessitates high-pressure equipment in order to be economical in bulk scale. Costs to industrial companies must be considerably lower than retail prices.
52. The reaction times have not been optimized, especially the fluorination step, which is likely complete within a few hours.
