उत्तर
Primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols can be distinguished from each other in the laboratory using Lucas reagent (conc. HCl and ZnCl2).
- An unknown alcohol is treated with Lucas reagent.
The reaction involved is: \[\ce{R - OH ->[HCl][ZnCl2] R - Cl}\] - Depending on the observation an unknown alcohol can be identified as primary, secondary or tertiary.
Test Observation Inference Unknown Alcohol + Lucas reagent Reagent turns turbid on heating. Primary alcohol is present. Unknown Alcohol + Lucas reagent Reagent turns turbid slowly, without heating. Secondary alcohol is present. Unknown Alcohol + Lucas reagent Reagent turns turbid immediately, without heating. Tertiary alcohol is present. - The reaction between isopropyl alcohol and Lucas reagent can be given as:
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3 - CH - CH3 + HCl + ZnCl2 -> CH3 - CH - CH3}\\
\phantom{..}|\phantom{......................................}|\phantom{..}\\
\phantom{.....}\ce{\underset{\text{Isopropyl alcohol (2° alcohol)}}{OH} \phantom{....................}\underset{\text{Isopropyl chloride}}{Cl}}\phantom{........}
\end{array}\]
The reagent will turns turbid slowly, without heating.
