What is the effect of replacing concentrated HCl with dilute HCl in the Lucas reagent?



Answer:
You will get No Reaction - you need concentrated HCl to efficiently protonate the alcohol, and induce the alcohol to eliminate the hydronium ion.
I'm positive but I'd expect the reactions would take longer to proceed, possibly the secondary alcohols may not even show any reaction.
