IDENTIFICATION
In the presence of _____________, it can convert alcohol to alkyl halides
Hydrogen Halide (HX)
Arrange the increasing order of the compound based on their reactivity:
2-butanol, 3-butanol, 1-butanol
3-butanol<2-butanol<1-butanol
TAKE NOTE:
Tertiary Alcohols: Fast Reaction
Secondary Alcohols: Reaction after several minutes (would take some time)
Primary Alcohols: Only upon heating

- (positive)
- (positive)
- (negative)
What is the observation of phenol on Lucas Test?
Immiscible; the upper layer has brown and the bottom is clear
It is the reaction between Acetyl Chloride and a compound X-O-H (where X - hydrogen, alkyl group, or benzene ring)
Acetyl Chloride Test

What is the product of Bromine in Water Test?
2,4,6 - tribromophenol
TRUE OR FALSE:
The orange color disappeared in Bromine in Water Test because of tribromophenol
TRUE
IDENTIFICATION:

When testing with Lucas Test, what will happen in the compound of more than 6 carbon atoms?
It will become insoluble
In the positive result of Ferric Chloride Test, why its color is violet?
Because of conjugated bonds, (8 or more carbon atoms)
