Although both allyl alccohol and 1-propanol are primary alcohols, they can still be distinguished by Lucas reagent. Explain how? |
Answer» Solution :The ally carbocation is resonannce stabilzied and hence is as stable as a `3^(@)` carbocation.  Therefore, on TREATEMENT with Lucas reagent, allyl alcohol gives white turbidity in LESS than 1 min. 1-Propanol, on the other hand, does not react with Lucas reagent. `underset("Allyl alcohol")(CH_(2)=CH-CH_(2)OH) underset(("Lucas reagent"))overset(HCl+ZnCl_(2))to underset("Turbidity in " lt " 1min".)(CH_(2)=CH-CH_(2)CL)underset("1-Propanol")(CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH) underset(("Lucas reagent"))overset(HCl+ZnCl_(2))to`No action. |
