    The reaction of Lucas reagent is fast with:

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]                        

    B) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}COH\]

    C)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHOH\]    

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Lucas reagent is used to distinguish between\[{{1}^{o}},\,\,{{2}^{o}}\]and \[{{3}^{o}}\] alcohols. Lucas reagent is\[HCl+ZnC{{l}_{2}}\]. \[{{3}^{o}}\]alcohol\[+\]Lucas reagent\[\xrightarrow{{}}\]Immediate terbidity \[{{2}^{o}}\]alcohol\[+\]Lucas reagent\[\xrightarrow{{}}\]Terbidity after\[5-10\min \] \[{{1}^{o}}\]alcohol\[+\]Lucas reagent\[\xrightarrow{{}}\]No terbidity \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (a) \\  {{1}^{o}}alcohol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (b) \\  {{3}^{o}}alcohol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-OH}}\,\] \[\underset{{{2}^{o}}alcohol}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-OH}}\,\]       \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  (d) \\  {{1}^{o}}alcohol \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\] \[\therefore \][b] a tertiary alcohol will give fastest reaction.
