Show Hint
- A
- B
- C
- D
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: Reaction with $C_2H_5MgBr$: The ethyl group attacks the carbonyl carbon to form a tertiary alcohol, 2-phenylbutan-2-ol ($Ph-C(OH)(CH_3)CH_2CH_3$).
Step 3: **Lucas reagent** ($HCl + ZnCl_2$) reacts **instantly** only with tertiary alcohols.
Step 4: Replacement of $-OH$ with $-Cl$ gives $Ph-C(Cl)(CH_3)CH_2CH_3$. (Note: formula $C_{10}H_{13}Cl$ matches).
Top Questions on Alcohols
How many molecules are secondary alcohol?
- In the given reaction, the transformation involves the following: \[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{OH} \xrightarrow{H_2SO_4, 413K} S_N2 \] What is the product of the reaction?
Alcohols undergo a number of reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. However, phenols do not undergo reactions involving the cleavage of C – OH bond. Alcohols are weaker acids than water. Alcohols react with halogen acids to form the corresponding haloaklanes. Phenols are stronger acids than alcohols. A charac- teristic feature of phenols is that they undergo electrophilic substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration, etc. Since –OH group is a strong activating group, phenol gives trisubstituted products during halogenation, nitration, etc.
- Which of the following is a primary alcohol?
- Which reagent will best convert alcohol to aldehyde selectively?
