AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given alcohols is the most and least reactive towards Lucas reagent (anhydrous ZnCl₂ + concentrated HCl), we need to analyze the structure of each alcohol and understand how their reactivity is influenced by the stability of the carbocation that forms during the reaction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Alcohols**: - (a) `CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH` (1-butanol) - (b) `CH₃CH₂(OH)CH(CH₃)` (2-butanol) - (c) `(CH₃)₃COH` (2-methylpropan-2-ol or tert-butanol) ...
