Why is the Lucas test applicable only to alcohols containing not more than five carbons?

First, my text says that the Lucas test is not applicable to compounds with six carbons or more. This is due to the solubility of the compound in the reagent. A compound with more than six carbons is to large to be dissolved in the reagent and therefore will not react in most cases.
