To distinguish between the two alcohols, `CH2=CHCH2OH` (which is an allylic alcohol) and `CH2=CH-CH2-CH2OH` (which is not an allylic alcohol), we can use Lucas reagent as a chemical test. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Alcohols - The first alcohol, `CH2=CHCH2OH`, is an allylic alcohol because the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to a carbon adjacent to the carbon-carbon double bond. - The second alcohol, `CH2=CH-CH2-CH2OH`, is a primary alcohol since the -OH group is attached to a terminal carbon that is not adjacent to the double bond. ### Step 2: Prepare Lucas Reagent - Lucas reagent is prepared by mixing zinc chloride (ZnCl2) with concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). This reagent is used to test the reactivity of alcohols. ...
