HalogenAustausch
Halogenaustausch, also known as halogen exchange or Finkelstein reaction when referring to iodide for chloride or bromide, is a chemical reaction where a halogen atom in an organic compound is replaced by another halogen atom. This transformation is typically achieved through nucleophilic substitution. The driving force for the reaction is often the formation of a more stable halide salt or a compound with a weaker carbon-halogen bond in the product.
Commonly, the reaction involves converting alkyl chlorides or bromides into alkyl iodides using an alkali metal
Halogen exchange reactions are valuable synthetic tools in organic chemistry, enabling the preparation of a wide
