Question

In Finkelstein reaction, dry acetone or ether; which one is used?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathbb\red{answer}$

Finkelstein reaction is used to prepare alkyl iodides starting from alkyl chlorides and alkyl bromides. In this reaction alkyl chlorides or bromides are treated with NaI in presence of acetone to form alkyl iodides.

In acetone, NaI is soluble ,as its lattice energy is lesser than the solvation energy of acetone.But NaCl or NaBr is insoluble in acetone,hence it get precipitated. So stress is exerted on the reaction equillibrium due to deposition of NaCl.According to Le-chateliers principle,in order to minimize the exerted stress,reaction tends to go for the completion.
