Which of the following will react most readily with HI ? A. CH3OH B. (CH3)3COH C. CH3CH2OH D. (CH3)2CHOH
Added by Theresa S.
Step 1
Since HI is a strong acid, it will protonate the oxygen atom of the alcohol group in each molecule, making it a better leaving group. Then, the iodide ion (I-) will perform a nucleophilic attack on the carbocation formed after the leaving group departs. The rate Show more…
