What is the reaction of propanol to lucas reagent?

2-Methyl-1-propanol is a primary alcohol and so will not react with Lucas reagent at room temperature.Cyclopentanol is a secondary alcohol and so will react with Lucas reagent in 3-5 minutes (solution turns cloudy). Cyclopentyl chloride is the result.1-Methylcyclopentanol is a tertiary alcohol and so will react immediately with Lucas reagent to produce turbidity. 1-Chloro-1-methylcyclopentanol is the result.


Is Lucas test applicable for cyclohexanol?

The Lucas test is applicable for cyclohexanol. Cyclohexanol is a secondary alcohol and s reported to react with the Lucas reagent after a few minutes.

What is the reaction for 2-butanol with the lucas reagent?

Since 2-butanol is a secondary alcohol, it will form a cloudy precipitate after approximately 5-6 minutes.


Lucas reagent is used to test what homologous series?

Lucas reagent is used to test for the presence of alcohols in a substance. It is made from anhydrous zinc chloride and concentrated hydrochloric acid.

What is the difference between Dehydration of primary secondary and tertiary alcohol?

In a primary (1°) alcohol, only attached to one alkyl group; In a secondary (2°) alcohol, attached two alkyl groups & tertiary (3°) alcohol, attached three alkyl groups Actually, that person has you more confused. This is an easy way to remember what is 1 degree, 2 degree or 3 degree of Alcohols. 1 degree: R-- CH2 -- OH 2 degree: R2 -- CH -- OH 3 degree: R3 -- C -- OH R = CH3


Why is the Lucas test applicable only to alcohols containing not more than five carbons?

First, my text says that the Lucas test is not applicable to compounds with six carbons or more. This is due to the solubility of the compound in the reagent. A compound with more than six carbons is to large to be dissolved in the reagent and therefore will not react in most cases.


What is Lukas's reagent?

Lucas' reagent is a solution of anhydrous zinc chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid used to classify low molecular weights of alchohols. In 1930, this test became the standard method in qualitative organic chemistry.
