(a) 1-butanol is treated with KI in the presence of H3PO4 where the OH is being replaced by the iodine and gives H2O and KH2PO4 as the by-product with 1-iodobutane as the final

(b) 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.

(c) The conversion of but-1-ene to 1-iodobutane takes place according to anti-markovnikoff (positive charged ion H+ goes to the carbon which has less number of hydrogens and negative part Br-
