In a Finkelstein reaction, an alkyl chloride (R-CI) or alkyl bromide (R--Br) is treated with NaI in acetone to produce an alkyl iodide (R–I). Whereas NaI is soluble in acetone, NaCl and NaBr are not. Use this information to argue whether a Finkelstein reaction is reversible.

1. Bicyclic keto compounds such as camphor react predictably with nucleophiles according to steric influences; this effect has been termed steric approach control. In contrast, the reaction of nucleophiles with simple acyclic and monocyclic keto compounds are influenced primarily by thermodynamic factors; this effect has been termed product development control.

In the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene, dialkylation is often a significant by-product. In the Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene, diacylation is not a significant by-product. Why?
The Dess–Martin reaction reacts an alcohol with the Dess–Martin periodinane. The first step displaces one of the acetate groups on the periodinane with the alcohol. A base then deprotonates one of the alpha protons, forming a new carbonyl bond, iodinane and acetic acid. The oxidation stops at this stage to give the aldehyde. Both Swern and Dess–Martin conditions will also convert a secondary alcohol to a ketone. Now apply what has just been discussed. Draw the major organic product.
