a.finkelstein reaction
b. Swartz reaction
c. free radical fluorination
d. sandmeyer's reaction .​

Answer 1

Alkyl fluorides can be prepared by action of mercurous fluoride or antimony trifluorides (inorganic fluorides) on corresponding alkyl halide. This reaction is known as Swarts reaction. CH3Br+AgF→CH3FMethylfluoride+AgBr But, when aciton of Nal/acetone takes place on alkyl chloride of bromide alkyl iodide forms.
