Answer:
The reaction is called Swarts reaction.
- The first step is to convert ethane to chloroethane, which is then heated with inorganic fluoride to produce fluoro ethane.
- Fluoroethane is formed when chloroethane reacts with HgCl₂.
Explanation:
- The fluorination of ethane does not produce Fluoroethane.
- Ethane fluorination via direct fluorination is a highly volatile reaction that cannot be regulated.
- As a result, ethane is first transformed to chloroethane, which is then heated with inorganic fluoride to produce Fluoroethane.
Swartz reaction:
- The Swarts reaction has a straightforward mechanism: the metal fluorine bond is broken, and a new link between carbon and fluorine is generated.
- The chlorine or bromine atoms that have been displaced have now formed a connection with the metal.
- According to Swarts' rule, the fluoride generated during fluorination will always have a lower boiling point than the comparable chloride.
Ch₃Ch₂Cl + AgF ---> Ch₃Ch₂F + AgBr
