Anhydrous redistilled hydrogen fluoride? No thanks!

Mind you: this is the stuff that, on skin contact, doesn't just burn you. It will immediately move through your skin to fuck up your nervous system, your organs, and your electrolyte balance to give you a heart attack.

If this synthesis were to kill me somehow, I'd rather blow myself up than get sprayed with HF.

Refer to [1] for more, unless you're easily disgusted...
