Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand how primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols differ in their reaction with Lucas reagent (a 1:1 mixture of HCl and anhydrous ZnCl₂), we can analyze the behavior of each type of alcohol when treated with this reagent. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lucas Reagent**: Lucas reagent is a mixture of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and zinc chloride (ZnCl₂) that is used to differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols based on their reactivity. 2. **Reaction of Primary Alcohols**: ...
