Chemistry - ALCOHOL & ETHER Question with Solution | TestHub

Question Explanation:

Match the chemical tests and reactions to their respective applications and rules.

Concept:

Qualitative tests, Markovnikov's rule, and anti-Markovnikov's addition.

The Lucas test (T) is used to distinguish between $1^{\circ },2^{\circ },3^{\circ }$ alcohols based on the time taken to form an alkyl chloride precipitate (turbidity). $\mathbf{A}\to \mathbf{R},\mathbf{T}$

The Victor Meyer's test (R) is a classic method for distinguishing $1^{\circ },2^{\circ },3^{\circ }$ alcohols, and also their corresponding nitroalkanes, by producing different colors (blood red, blue, colorless, respectively) when treated with ${\mathrm{HNO}}_2$ and $\mathrm{NaOH}.\mathbf{B}\to \mathbf{R}$

Hydroboration-oxidation (S) is a reaction that adds H and OH across an alkene double bond in an overall anti-Markovnikov fashion, without carbocation rearrangement, yielding the less substituted alcohol. C → Q,S

Oxymercuration-demercuration (P) is a reaction sequence that adds H and OH across an alkene double bond in a strict Markovnikov fashion, without carbocation rearrangement, yielding the more substituted alcohol. D ⟶ Q,P
