The correct Answer is:
To distinguish between the two compounds, 4-Amino-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol (Compound I) and 4-Amino-2,2-dimethylbut-3-yn-1-ol (Compound II), we can use specific reagents that react differently with primary and tertiary alcohols. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of Each Compound:** - **Compound I (4-Amino-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol):** - It has a hydroxyl (OH) group at the second carbon, a double bond at the third carbon, and an amino (NH2) group at the fourth carbon. - This compound is classified as a tertiary alcohol because the carbon bearing the OH group is connected to three other carbon atoms. - **Compound II (4-Amino-2,2-dimethylbut-3-yn-1-ol):** - It has a hydroxyl (OH) group at the first carbon, a triple bond at the third carbon, and an amino (NH2) group at the fourth carbon. - This compound is classified as a primary alcohol because the carbon bearing the OH group is connected to only one other carbon atom. 2. **Choose the Reagent for Distinction:** - We can use **Lucas Reagent**, which consists of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) and anhydrous zinc chloride (ZnCl2). This reagent is effective in differentiating between primary and tertiary alcohols. 3. **Perform the Reaction:** - When Lucas Reagent is added to Compound I (tertiary alcohol), it will react immediately, resulting in the formation of an alkyl chloride and producing turbidity (cloudiness). - When Lucas Reagent is added to Compound II (primary alcohol), there will be no immediate reaction, and thus no turbidity will be observed. 4. **Conclusion:** - By observing the reaction with Lucas Reagent, we can distinguish between the two compounds: - **Turbidity indicates Compound I (tertiary alcohol).** - **No turbidity indicates Compound II (primary alcohol).** ### Final Answer: The two compounds can be distinguished by using **Lucas Reagent (HCl and ZnCl2)**. ---
