Why has tertiary alcohol higher reactivity towards hydrogen halide compared to secondary and primary alcohols?
Tertiary alcohol has higher reactivity towards hydrogen halide as compared to secondary because carbonium ion formed from tertiary alcohol is the most stable and reaction go via SN1 reaction. Therefore, order of reaction is,
Tertiary alcohol > Secondary alcohol > Primary alcohol.
