    Lucas test is given fastly by

    A)  butanol-2

    B)  butanol-1

    C)  150-butanol

    D)  2-methyl-2-propanol

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Among the\[1{}^\circ ,\,\,2{}^\circ \]and\[3{}^\circ \]alcohols,\[3{}^\circ \]alcohols react with Lucas reagent readily and give turbidity while 2° give turbidity after 5 min and\[1{}^\circ \]do not react at room temperature. (a)\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{2}^{o}}alcohol \\  (butanol-2) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] (b)\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{1}^{o}}alcohol \\  (butanol-1) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\] (c)\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{1}^{o}}\,alcohol \\  (iso-butanol) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}OH}}\,\] (d)\[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  {{3}^{o}}alcohol \\  (2-methyl-2-propanol) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  OH \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] Hence, 2-methyl-2-propanol (3° alcohol) reacts with Lucas reagent fastly.
