Q. Lucas reagent reacts fastest with

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

$(a) CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2-OH$
$\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \,{}^{(1-butanol)}_{1^\circ\, alcohol}$
The reactivity of Lucas reagent with alcohol is $3^\circ > 2^\circ > 1^\circ.$ Hence, 2-methyl-2-propanol reacts fastest with Lucas reagent.
