    The compound which reacts faster with Lucas reagent is:

    A)  butan-1-ol

    B)  butan-2-ol

    C)  2-methyl-propan-1-ol

    D)  2-methyl propan-2-ol

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Tertiary alcohols react faster with Lucas reagent. They give turbidity with Lucas reagent (cone. \[HCl\] + anhyd. \[ZnC{{l}_{2}}\]) at once. Hence, 2-methyl propan-2-ol will react with Lucas reagent faster. \[{{H}_{3}}C--\underset{OH}{\overset{C{{H}_{3}}}{\mathop{\underset{|}{\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}}\,}}}\,--C{{H}_{3}}\]
