Which of the following compounds would not react with Lucas reagent at room temperature?

  1. A \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CHCH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)
  4. D \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{COH}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Primary ( \(1^{\circ}\) )-alcohols do not give Lucas reagent test at room temperature. \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\) does not undergo \(S_{N}1 or S_{N}2\) at room temperature.
