text: Many organofluorine compounds are produced by electrofluorination.  One manifestation of this technology is the Simons process, which can be described as:
  :RC&ndash;H  +  HF   →  RC&ndash;F  +  H
  In the course of a typical synthesis, this reaction occurs once for each C&ndash;H bond in the precursor.  The cell potential is maintained near 5&ndash;6 V.  The anode, the electrocatalyst, is nickel-plated.
