How can you obtain iodoethane from ethanol when no other iodine containing reagent except Nal is available in the laboratory?

Answers (1)

Ethanol can be converted into chloroethane with the help of HCl + ZnCl_2 and Cl in the chloroethane can be replaced by I with the help of NaI.

C_{2}H_{5}OH+HCl \overset{ZnCl_2}{\rightarrow}C_{2}H_{5}Cl\overset{NaI}{\rightarrow}C_{2}H_{5}I
