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. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/dc1acdfd61daa32334a425451dd33330-.png" /> Presence of 3 alkyl group increases 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. $H Cl$ 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 $3$ alkyl group increases electron density on $3^{\circ}$ carbon atom. Hence, $- O H$ group is easily removed. After removal of $- O H$ group $3^{\circ}$ carbonium ion is formed which is most stable.
