Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{Br}+\mathrm{AgF} \longrightarrow\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The preparation of alkyl fluorides from alkyl halides is typically achieved using the Swarts reaction. In this reaction, an alkyl bromide or alkyl chloride is treated with a metallic fluoride such as \(\mathrm{AgF}\), \(\mathrm{Hg}_2\mathrm{F}_2\), or \(\mathrm{CoF}_2\). The…
