Lucas test in alcohol is a test to differentiate betweenprimary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. It is based on the difference in reactivity of the three classes of alcohols with hydrogenhalides. Reaction proceeds through carbocation formation as3 carbocation is highly stable. Hence, the reaction proceeds throughSN​1with3 alcohol.
