Three alcohols ( i ) C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 O H , ( i i ) C H 3 - C H O H - C H 3 and ( i i i ) C H 3 - C ( C H 3 ) ( O H ) - C H 3 were treated seperately with Lucas reagent (Conc. H C l + Z n C l 2 ) . What results do you expect at room temperature

Question

Three alcohols ( i ) C H 3 C H 2 C H 2 O H , ( i i ) C H 3 - C H O H - C H 3 and ( i i i ) C H 3 - C ( C H 3 ) ( O H ) - C H 3 were treated seperately with Lucas reagent (Conc. H C l + Z n C l 2 ) . What results do you expect at room temperature, ( i ) reacts in about 5 minutes, ( i i ) reacts in about 15 minutes and ( i i i ) not at all, ( i i i ) reacts immediately, ( i i ) reacts in about 5 minutes and ( i ) not at all, ( i i ) and ( i i i ) react immediately and ( i ) in about 5 minutes, ( i ) reacts immediately, ( i i ) reacts in about 5 minutes and ( i i i ) not at all

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Lucas reagent (Conc. H C l + Z n C l 2 ) . is used to distinguish between alcohols tertiary alcohol reacts immediately and gives white turbidity, secondary alcohol reacts in about 5 minutes and primary alcohol do not react.
