Electrochemical fluorination

Electrochemical fluorination (abbreviated ECF) is a chemical process that uses electrolysis to add fluorine atoms to organic compounds. It is one of the most important tools in organofluorine chemistry.

 Process 
The main method of electrochemical fluorination is the Simons process. This process uses anhydrous hydrogen fluoride as both a solvent and source of fluorine.
