1 R – X Aqueous NaOH &
AgNO3 solution
Precipitate
AgCl – White
AgBr – Pale
yellow
AgI – Dark
yellow
1) Ethyl chloride & chlorobenzene
Ethyl chloride gives white ppt
Chlorobenzene does not give ppt.
2) Cyclohexylbromide & bromobenzene
Cyclohexylbromide gives pale yellow ppt
Bromobenzene does not give the test.
3) Benzyl chloride & chlorobenzene
Benzyl chloride gives white ppt
Chlorobenzene does not give ppt.
4) Vinyl iodide & Allyl iodide
Vinyl iodide gives pale yellow ppt.
Allyl iodide does not give the test.
2 R – OH Lucas test – conc
HCl & anh ZnCl2
Iodoform test –
NaOH &I2
Note: When both
the alcohols given
are primary / sec
apply this test

Yellow ppt of
iodoform (CHI3)
To distinguish primary , sec & ter alcohols
Primary – Methanol, Ethanol, n – alkyl
alcohols / alkan – 1-ol, benzyl alcohol
Secondary – Isopropyl alcohol, alkan – 2 – ol
Tertiary – tert.buytl alcohol
(2-methyl– propan – 2- ol)
Alcohols with CH3 – CH – group give this test
OH
1) Ethyl alcohol & methyl alcohol(both are 1
0
)
Ethyl alcohol gives yellow ppt
Methyl alcohol does not give this test.
2) Pentan-2-ol & Pentan-3-ol (both are 2
0
)
Pentan-2-ol gives yellow ppt
Pentan-3-ol does not give this test.
3 Phenol Neutral ferric
chloride
Violet colour 1) Phenol & ethyl alcohol
Phenol gives violet colour
Ethyl alcohol does not give this test
