The synthesis of alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by:

The synthesis of alkyl fluorides is best accomplished by:
  1. Swarts reaction
  2. Free radical fluorination
  3. Sandmeyer's reaction
  4. 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 → CH 3F + AgBr
