Question
Chapter 9, Problem 63P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason for acetone increasing the yield of alkyl iodide in the reaction of alkyl chloride with potassium iodide has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Aprotic solvent are polar solvent molecules which do not have hydrogen bonded to oxygen to nitrogen.
The stronger base is always a better nucleophile in an aprotic solvent.

A common method where one alkyl halide is converted to another alkyl halide is known as Finkelstein reaction. In one example of this reaction the reaction of an alkyl chloride with potassium iodide is generally carry out in acetone to maximize the amount of alkyl iodine that this formed. Why does the solvent increase the amount of alkyl iodide. Hint: potassium idioide is soluble in acetone but potassium chloride is not.
Explain why quinuclidine is a much more reactive nucleophile than triethylamine, even though both compounds have N atoms surrounded by three R groups.
