Best answer

i. HCl – ZnCl2:
a. Butan-1-ol being a primary alcohol does not react with Lucas reagent (HCl – ZnCl2) at room temperature. However, cloudiness appears only upon heating.

b. But 2-methylbutan-2-ol (3) reacts at room temperature giving cloudiness immediately.

ii. HBr:
Both alcohols react with HBr to give corresponding alkyl bromides.

iii. SOCl2:
Both alcohols react to give corresponding alkyl chlorides.
