Vedclass · Answer

(C) The Lucas reagent is a mixture of concentrated $HCl$ and anhydrous $ZnCl_2$. Alcohols react with the Lucas reagent to form alkyl chlorides,which appear as turbidity in the solution. The reactivity order of alcohols towards the Lucas reagent is: $3^\circ > 2^\circ > 1^\circ$. Tertiary $(3^\circ)$ alcohols react instantaneously with the Lucas reagent to produce immediate turbidity because they form stable carbocations. Among the given options,$(CH_3)_3C-OH$ is a tertiary alcohol,hence it reacts instantaneously.

Which one of the following alcohols reacts instantaneously with Lucas reagent?
