  • It is named after Hans Finkelstein, a German chemist.
  • It is an organic reaction that uses an alkyl halide exchange into another alkyl halide through a reaction wherein the metal halide salt is used.
  • This reaction takes place at an equilibrium process by taking the advantage of poor acetone solubility in metal halide salt that is newly formed.
