Question

explain lucus reagent test for alcohols​

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal\red{ANSWER}$

The Lucas test in alcohols is a test to differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols. It is based on the difference in reactivity of the three classes of alcohols with hydrogen halides via an SN1 reaction: ROH + HCl → RCl + H2O. An equimolar mixture of ZnCl2 and concentrated HCl is the reagent.
