I have three isomers of an alcohol: 1-butanol, 2-butanol, 2-methyl-2-propanol and all three are mixed with 12 mol HCl. Now is this a halogenation reaction or hydrohalegenation reaction? And also how can intermolecular forces explain this. Doing the experiment, 2-methyl-2-propanol turns instantly cloudy, 2-butanol experience a tiny colour change and 1-butanol does not react. Any ideas?
