Differentiation between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols
(Lucas test).
The test depends upon the different rates of formation of the alkyl chlorides upon treatment with a hydrochloric acid – zinc
chloride reagent * (containing 1 mole of acid to 1 mole of anhydrous zinc chloride) and with hydrochloric acid. It applies only to aliphatic and cycfoaliphatic alcohols.To 1 [...]

Wolff Rearrangement

There are several transformations that are conceptually related to carbene reactions but do not involve carbene, or even varbenoid intermediates. Usually these are reactions in which the generation of a carbene is circumcented by a concerted rearrangement process. An important example of this type of reaction is the thermal and photochemical reactions of ?-diazoketons. When [...]
