Answer 2

The complete question is as follows below:

Which alcohol produces turbidity with Lucas reagent most slowly?

1) Isobutyl alcohol.

2) 2-Butanol

3) Diphenyl carbinol

4) t-butyl alcohol.

Answer:

Due to the formation of a very stable tertiary (3°) cation, Lucas reagent produces immediate turbidity with tertiary alcohol.

While secondary alcohol creates a secondary (2°) carbocation intermediate that is somewhat stable and produces results with the Lucas reagent after 3-5 minutes.

The primary alcohol results in the formation of a primary carbocation which is the least stable, and gives the slowest results with the Lucas reagent.

Explanation:

1) It is a secondary alcohol.

2) It is a secondary alcohol.

3) It is a secondary alcohol.

4) It is a tertiary alcohol.

Thus, we know that the primary alcohol produces the slowest turbidity with the Lucas reagent.

The primary alcohol results in the formation of a primary carbocation which is the least stable among others.

Therefore, it will be simpler and take less time to produce a carbocation from an alkyl halide that possesses greater stability or vice-versa.

Hence, the correct option is (1) Isobutyl alcohol.
