Question

The alcohol which easily reacts with conc. HCl is (A) CH3-CHOH-CH2-CH3 (B) (CH3)3-C-OH (C) CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH (D) (CH3)2-CH-CH2OH

Tertiary alcohol readily reacts with halogen acid.Presence of three alkyl groups increase electron density on 3° carbon atom. Hence, -OH group is easily removed. After removal of -OH group, 3° carbonium ion is formed which is most stable.

Q. The alcohol which easily reacts with conc. HCl is

$C H_{3} - C H O H - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$(C H_{3})_{3} - C - O H$

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - O H$

$(C H_{3})_{2} - C H - C H_{2} O H$

Tertiary alcohol readily reacts with halogen acid.Presence of three alkyl groups increase electron density on $3^{\circ}$ carbon atom. Hence, -OH group is easily removed. After removal of $- O H$ group, $3^{\circ}$ carbonium ion is formed which is most stable.

Q. The alcohol which easily reacts with conc. HCl is

CH3​−CHOH−CH2​−CH3​

(CH3​)3​−C−OH

CH3​−CH2​−CH2​−CH2​−OH

(CH3​)2​−CH−CH2​OH

Tertiary alcohol readily reacts with halogen acid.Presence of three alkyl groups increase electron density on 3∘ carbon atom. Hence, -OH group is easily removed. After removal of −OH group, 3∘ carbonium ion is formed which is most stable.

$C H_{3} - C H O H - C H_{2} - C H_{3}$

$(C H_{3})_{3} - C - O H$

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - O H$

$(C H_{3})_{2} - C H - C H_{2} O H$
