Question

Convert CH3-CH2-OH to Ch3-CH2-F

Answer 1

Answer:

$CH_3-CH_2-OH+HF-->CH_3-CH_2-F+H_2O$

Explanation : Ethyl alcohol reacts with Hydrogen fluoride under suitable conditions forms Halo-Ethane i.e., Fluoro-Ethane and water.

Answer 2

Solution :-

$\bf{CH_3-CH_2-OH \rightarrow Ethanol}\\ \\ \bf{CH_3-CH_2-F \rightarrow Flouro\:ethane}$

◐ We can't convert ethanol into flouro ethane directly via single chemical reaction.

◐ First we have to convert ethanol into chloro/bromo ethane.

◐ We can convert chloro/bromo ethane into flouro ethane via halogen-exchange reaction.

1) Alcohol → chloro alkane

$\underline{\boxed{\bf{R-OH+PX_3 \rightarrow R-X + H_3PO_3}}}\\ \\ \bigstar\sf\:\pink{CH_3-CH_2-OH+PCl_3 \rightarrow CH_3-CH_2-Cl+H_3PO_3}$

2) Chloro alkane → flouro alkane

▶ This reaction is called as Swarts reaction.

$\underline{\boxed{\bf{R-X+AgF\rightarrow R-F+AgX}}}\\ \\ \bigstar\sf\:\purple{CH_3-CH_2-Cl+AgF\rightarrow CH_3-CH_2-F+AgCl}$
