Question:
An alcohol X (C\(_5\)H\(_{12}\)O) when reacted with conc. HCl and anhydrous ZnCl\(_2\), produces turbidity instantly. The alcohol X can be prepared from which of the following reactions?
An alcohol X (C\(_5\)H\(_{12}\)O) when reacted with conc. HCl and anhydrous ZnCl\(_2\), produces turbidity instantly. The alcohol X can be prepared from which of the following reactions?
Show Hint
Tertiary alcohols react instantly with Lucas reagent due to rapid formation of carbocations.

- Reduction of 2-pentanone with NaBH\(_4\)
- Reaction of isopropyl magnesium bromide with ethanol
- Reaction of ethyl magnesium bromide with propanal
- Acid catalyzed hydration of 2-methyl-1-butene

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The Lucas test (reaction with HCl/ZnCl\(_2\)) gives instant turbidity for tertiary alcohols.
The acid-catalyzed hydration of 2-methyl-1-butene forms 2-methyl-2-butanol, a tertiary alcohol, which reacts instantly.
Other options do not form tertiary alcohols.

- For a given function \( y = f(x) \), \( \delta y \) denotes the actual error in \( y \) corresponding to actual error \( \delta x \) in \( x \) and \( dy \) denotes the approximate value of \( \delta y \). If \( y = f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 4 \) and \( \delta x = 0.02 \), then the value of \( \delta y - dy \) when \( x = 5 \) is: \vspace{0.5cm}
