Finkelstein reaction

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $Finkelstein$ reaction is a classic example of a halogen exchange reaction. It is an $S_{N}2$ reaction where an alkyl halide (usually chloride or bromide) is converted into an alkyl iodide by treatment with sodium iodide $(NaI)$ in acetone. The general reaction is: $R-X + NaI \rightarrow R-I + NaX$ (where $X = Cl, Br$). Other options like $Sandmeyer$,$Fittig$,and $Wurtz-Fittig$ reactions are not halogen exchange reactions.
