STANDARD Chemistry Cleavage of Ethers MCQ Question
The major products, C and D formed in the following reactions respectively are H₃C - CH₂ - CH₂ - O - C(CH₃)₃, excess HI → C + D
H₃C–CH₂–CH₂–I and I–C(CH₃)₃
H₃C–CH₂–CH₂–OH and I–C(CH₃)₃
H₃C–CH₂–CH₂–I and HO–C(CH₃)₃
H₃C–CH₂–CH₂–OH and HO–C(CH₃)₃
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The reaction of tert-butyl ethers with HI leads to the formation of alkyl iodides. The tert-butyl group forms tert-butyl iodide, and the primary alcohol forms the corresponding iodide.
