Step-by-Step Solution
To determine the correct matching between the named reactions in List-I and the corresponding reagents/catalysts in List-II, we analyze each reaction individually:
-
A. Finkelstein reaction:
- This is a halogen exchange reaction used to synthesize alkyl iodides from alkyl chlorides or alkyl bromides by reacting them with sodium iodide () in dry acetone.
- Equation:
- Therefore, A matches with III.
-
B. Swarts reaction:
- This reaction is used for the synthesis of alkyl fluorides by heating alkyl chlorides or bromides in the presence of metallic fluorides such as antimony trifluoride (), silver fluoride (), or cobalt fluoride ().
- Equation:
- Therefore, B matches with I.
-
C. Sandmeyer's reaction:
- This reaction is used to convert benzene diazonium salts into haloarenes using cuprous salts such as cuprous chloride () or cuprous bromide () in the presence of the corresponding halogen acid.
- Equation:
- Therefore, C matches with IV.
-
D. Fittig reaction:
- This reaction involves the coupling of two molecules of aryl halides in the presence of sodium metal and dry ether to form diaryl compounds (such as biphenyl).
- Equation:
- Therefore, D matches with II.
Thus, the correct matching is:
This corresponds to Option B.
