react instantaneously with Lucas reagent and give immediate turbidity. Reactivity towards Lucas reagent:
\[\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}
{{\rm{3}}^\circ \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} > {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm{2}}^\circ {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} \,\,\,{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} > {\mkern 1mu} \,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm{1}}^\circ {\mkern 1mu} {\rm{alcohols}}}\\
{{\rm{Immediately}}\,\,\,\,{\rm{after}}{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} {\rm{after}}{\mkern 1mu} {\mkern 1mu} }\\
\begin{array}{l}
{\mkern 1mu} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm{5}}\,{\rm{min}}{\mkern 1mu} \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm{turbidity}}\\
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm{heating}}
\end{array}
