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, Hg₂F₂, CoF₂, SbF₃.

{\text{CH}}_{3} \text{Br} + \text{AgF} \to {\text{CH}}_{3}\text{F} + \text{AgBr}
