Question

what is the Lucas reagent? between primary and tertiary alcohols,which one of these will react faster with Lucas reagent ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

This observation is a positive indication for the Lucas test. Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary alcohols react with the lucas reagent to form the chloroalkane at different rates. Tertiary alcohols react the fastest due to the fact the organic chloride has relatively low solubility in the aqueous mixture.
