Fluorine, though abundant on Earth, is not readily available in a form suitable for organic synthesis. While fluoride salts like fluorite exist, they have limited reactivity due to solubility properties. Converting fluorite to hydrofluoric acid (HF) or fluorine gas (F2) increases reactivity but introduces significant safety concerns due to the …
