Discuss the Relative reactivity of alcohols towards Lucas reagent.

Solution

Primary alcohols on reaction with Lucas reagents (Conc. HCl/anhy.ZnCl₂) does not forms white cloudiness or turbidity at room temperature.

RCH₂OH + Lucas Regent -->No Reaction

Secondary alcohol : Secondary alcohol on reaction with locals reagent (Conc. HCl/anhy.ZnCl₂) forms white cloudiness or turbidity appears with in about 5 minutes.

R₂CHOH+ Lucas reagent --> R₂CHCl

Tertiary alcohol: Tertiary alcohol on reaction with Lucas Reagent (Conc. HCl/anhy.ZnCl2) forms white cloudiness or turbidity immediately.

R₃C-OH +lucas --> R₃CCl
