Question
Which of the following alcohols will yield the corresponding alkyl chloride on reaction with concentrated $$HCl$$ at room temperature?
A.
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-OH\]
B.
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
|\,\,\,\,\, \\
C{{H}_{3}}\,
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-CH-}}\,OH\]
C.
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
|\,\,\,\,\, \\
C{{H}_{3}}\,
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-CH-}}\,C{{H}_{2}}OH\]
D.
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
| \\
\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}}
\end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}} \\
|
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-C-}}}\,OH\]
Answer :
\[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}
| \\
\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}}
\end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}
\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}} \\
|
\end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{-C-}}}\,OH\]
Solution :
$${3^ \circ }$$ alcohols being most reactive, react with conc. $$HCl$$ at room temperature.
