Which of the following alcohols will yield the corresponding alkyl chloride on reaction with concentrated HCl at room temperature?

Options

A. `CH_3CH_2-CH_2-OH`
B. `CH_3CH_2-underset(CH_3)underset(|)(CH)-OH`
C. `CH_3CH_2-underset(CH_3)underset(|)(CH)-CH_2OH`
D. `CH_3CH_2-underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)(C)-OH`

Answer

D

Explanation

`CH_3CH_2-overset(CH_3)overset(|)underset(CH_3)underset(|)(C)-OH+underset(conc.)HCIoverset("at room temp")toCH_3CH_2-overset(CH_3)overset(|)underset(CH_3)underset(|)C-CI`
