1-Bromopropane is treated with NaI in acetone. The major product is
Apropene
B1-iodopropane
Cpropan-1-ol
D2-iodopropane
Answer: B
Iodide is a good nucleophile and a very weak base, and acetone is a polar aprotic solvent. A primary halide therefore reacts by SN2 (Finkelstein reaction) giving 1-iodopropane.
