Question
From amongst the following alcohols the one that would react fastest with conc. HCl and anhydrous ZnCl2, is
Options
A.2-Butanol
B.2-Methylpropan-2-ol
C.2-Methylpropanol
D.1-Butanol
Solution
3o alcohols react fastest with ZnCl2 /conc.HCl due to formation of 3o carbocation and
∴ 2-methyl propan-2-ol is the only 3o alcohol
