Differentiation between primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols (Lucas test)

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 [...]
