The synthesis of alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by :

  1. A Finkelstein reaction
  2. B Swarts reaction
  3. C Free radical fluorination
  4. D Sandmeyer's reaction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Swarts reaction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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. \(C H_{3} B r+A g F \rightarrow \underset{\text { Methyl fluoride}}{C H_3F}+A g B r\) But,…
