The compound which reacts faster with Lucas reagent is
Options
- Abutan-1-ol
- Bbutan-2-ol
- C2-methyl-propan-1-ol
- D2-methyl propan-2-ol
Correct answer
D. 2-methyl propan-2-ol
Step-by-step solution
Tertiary alcohols react faster with Lucas reagent. They give turbidity with Lucas reagent (cone. HCl + anhyd. ZnCl ₂ ) at once. Hence, 2-methyl propan-2-ol will react with Lucas reagent faster.
