Alcohol, Phenol and EtherHard
Question
HBr reacts fastest with :
Options
A.2- methyl propan -2-ol
B.propan-1-ol
C.propan-2-ol
D.2- methyl propan -1-ol
Solution
The reaction takes place as follows:
Thus an alcohol which gives more stable carbocation will be moer reactive in this reaction. 2-methyl propan -2-ol (a) will give most stable t-carbocation among these most readily. (b) and (d) will give p-carbocation which (c) gives s-carbocation.
