    The compound which reacts faster with Lucas reagent is:

    A)  butan-1-ol

    B)  butan-2-ol

    C)  2-methyl-propan-l-ol

    D)  2-methyl propan-2-ol

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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