I've been noticing that the org-pretty-entities code incorrectly lexes
numbers as part of TeX command names; for example, if I type $\sim2n^2$, the
\sim will not be replaced with a ~ because the 2 is lexed as part of the
command name. This is incorrect; in TeX, numbers are not legal parts of a
command name.
Here's a patch that fixes the issue:
diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el

Hi Pavel, this is on purpose, in order to support names like \frac12. Most, but not all entity names are strict TeX. You can work around this by inserting spaces - \sim2n^2 looks
quite unreadable to me anyway - I would, also in a TeX file, always write it like
\sim 2 n^2
