Question

Convert the following:

But-1-ene to n-butyl iodide

Answer 1

\[\ce{\underset{\text{But-1-ene}}{CH3 - CH2 - CH = CH2 + HBr}->[Peroxide] \underset{\text{1-Bromobutane}}{CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2Br}}\]

\[\ce{\underset{\text{1-Bromobutane}}{CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2Br + NaI} ->[Acetone]\underset{\text{n-Butyl iodide (1-Iodobutane)}}{CH3 - CH2 - CH2 - CH2I + NaBr↓}}\]
