Q12 / 90 · JEE Main 2015 (04 Apr) · Chemistry

The synthesis of alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by:

Correct answer
A
Swarts reaction
B
Free radical fluorination
C
Sandmeyer's reaction
D
Finkelstein reaction

Solution

Alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by swarts reaction i.e. heating an alkyl chloride/bromide in the presence of metallic fluoride such as AgF, Hg₂F₂, CoF₂, SbF₃.

{CH}_{3} Br + AgF \to {CH}_{3} F + AgBr

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
