Write the equations for the preparation of 1-iodobutane from

1-chlorobutane


The conversion of 1-chlorobutane to 1-iodobutane simply takes place by treating the reactant with KI in the presence of acetone. The iodine from KI normally replaces the chlorine from the reactant and gives 1-iodobutane as the final product with KCl as the by product.
