Question

how will you convert a) ethyl chloride to ethyl iodide ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Finkelstein reaction

Alkyl iodides are often preapared by the reaction of alkyl chlorides/ bromides with NaI in dry acetone.

This reaction is known as Finkelstein reaction.

R-X + NaI ----acetone-----------. R-I + NaX

where,X= Cl,Br.

therefore to convert ethyl chloride to ethyl iodiode

C2H7Cl + Nal ---acetone---- C2H7l + NaCl

answer.

Answer 2

Concept Introduction:-

Science is the methodical process of compiling and arranging knowledge about the universe into verifiable, explicable, and predictable hypotheses.

Explanation:-

A question has been provided to us

We need to find the solution to the question

The conversion of ethyl bromide to ethyl iodide using sodium iodide and dry acetone, this reaction is known as Finkelstein reaction. In dry acetone, sodium bromide gets precipitated.

$CH_3CH_2Br +NaI$ ⇄ $CH_3CH_2I + NaBr$

The classic Finkelstein reaction involves the process of an alkyl bromide or an alkyl chloride into an alkyl iodide which is treated with a sodium iodide.

Final Answer:-

The correct answer is the conversion of ethyl bromide to ethyl iodide using sodium iodide and dry acetone, this reaction is known as the Finkelstein reaction.
