The synthesis of alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by:
Options
- ASwarts reaction
- BFree radical fluorination
- CSandmeyer's reaction
- DFinkelstein reaction
Correct answer
A. Swarts reaction
Step-by-step solution
Alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by swarts reaction i.e. heating an alkyl chloride/bromide in the presence of metallic fluoride such as AgF, Hg 2 F 2 , CoF 2 , SbF 3 . CH 3 Br + AgF → CH 3 F + AgBr
