What would be the effect of carrying out the sodium iodide in acetone reaction with the
Interpretation: The effect of carrying out the sodium iodide in acetone reaction with the alkyl halide using iodide solution half as concentrated is to be interpreted.
Concept introduction: The reaction of alkyl halide with sodium iodide results the formation of alkyl iodide. The reaction occurs in the presence of acetone as the solvent. It is named as Finkelstein reaction and is followed by
Answer to Problem 1Q
In the presence of half concentrated iodide solution, the
Explanation of Solution
The mechanism of the given reaction can be shown as given below:
Here the iodide ions act as nucleophile and involve in the rate determining step as reaction follows the
Therefore, with decrease in the concentration of iodide ion, the rate of reaction will also halves that yield only half of the product.
