Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given reaction is a substitution reaction in which an alkyl halide is reacting with sodium iodide in acetone solvent. This reaction is called the Finkelstein reaction. In this reaction, the halide ion (I-) is a better nucleophile than the halide ion initially present in the alkyl halide molecule. Therefore, a substitution reaction occurs and the iodide ion is replaced with the initially present halide ion. The product that will be formed in this reaction is the alkyl iodide (I). Hence, the correct answer is A) I.
