15. The discussion is oversimplified since increasing the number of fluorines does not always increase the partition coefficient into a fluorous phase.

36. The length and nature of the spacer can have major effects on certain reactions. For example, this ionic reaction does not succeed with the reagent bearing an ethylene spacer.

39. We usually conduct solid phase extractions on small scale and have not focused on the recovery of the tin reagents. However, in principle this should be possible for many types of reactions.

44. By analogy to the usual usage of "solid phase synthesis", we intend "fluorous synthesis" to mean techniques in which the substrate or product is fluorous. However, the term "fluorous synthesis" is also sometimes used more broadly to encompass essentially any fluorous technique.

47. New fluorous reactions also present entertaining naming opportunities. For example, we call the fluorous Ugi reaction the "flugi" reaction. The "fluginelli" reactions follows accordingly.
