Explanation:
Swarts reaction : It is one of the best rxn. to produce fluoroalkane. When alkyl chloride / alkyl bromide is heated in presence of metallic fluoride ( such as AgF,Hg

etc ), alkyl fluoride is produced
ex. CH

Cl+AgF→CH

F+AgCl
The Wurtz reaction, is a coupling reaction whereby two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in dry ether solution to form a higher alkane

Finkelstein reaction is the treatment of a primary alkyl halide with an alkali metal iodide (e.g. KI) that leads to replacement of the halogen via an SN2 Reaction with I
