Vedclass · Answer

(B) The Finkelstein reaction is a type of nucleophilic substitution reaction $(S_N2)$ used to prepare alkyl iodides from alkyl chlorides or alkyl bromides.In this reaction, the alkyl halide is treated with sodium iodide $(NaI)$ in the presence of dry acetone.Acetone acts as a solvent in which $NaI$ is soluble, while the byproduct $NaCl$ or $NaBr$ is insoluble and precipitates out, driving the reaction forward according to Le Chatelier's principle.Therefore, the correct reagent is $NaI$ in dry acetone.
