Explanation:
) Finkelstein reaction involves reaction of alkyl halide with sodium iodide to prepare alkyl iodide.
R−X + NaI → R−I + NaX
Instead of sodium iodide, you can also use sodium bromide or sodium chloride. But you cannot use sodium fluoride as fluoride ion will not displace chloride, bromide or iodide ion as fluoride ion is better leaving the group than chloride, bromide or iodide ion. Better leaving group than fluoride ion is needed for this reaction to occur. Hence, the Finkelstein reaction cannot be used to prepare alkyl fluorides.
