Which of the following alcohols will yield the corresponding alkyl chloride on reaction with concentrated HCl at room temperature.

A

CH3CH2−CH2−OHCH_{3}CH_{2} - CH_{2} - OH

B

CH3CH2−CH∣CH3−OHCH_{3}CH_{2} - {\underset{\underset{CH_{3}}{|}}{CH}}_{} - OH

C

CH3CH2−CH∣CH3−CH2OHCH_{3}CH_{2} - {\underset{\underset{CH_{3}}{|}}{CH}}_{} - CH_{2}OH

D

CH3CH2−C∣CH3∣CH3−OHCH_{3}CH_{2} - \overset{\underset{\overset{CH_{3}}{|}}{\underset{CH_{3}}{|}}}{C} - OH

Answer

CH3CH2−C∣CH3∣CH3−OHCH_{3}CH_{2} - \overset{\underset{\overset{CH_{3}}{|}}{\underset{CH_{3}}{|}}}{C} - OH

Explanation

Solution

3° alcohols being most reactive, react with conc. HCL at room temperature.
