The major organic product in the reaction, CH3 – O – CH(CH3)2 + HI \(→\) Product is:
- CH3OH + (CH3)2CHI
- ICH2OCH(CH3)2
- CH3OC(CH3)2
- CH3I + (CH3)2CHOH
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
When cold hydrogen iodide (HI) is employed, it leads to the formation of a mixture containing alkyl iodide and alcohol. In the context of mixed ethers, the halogen atom is added to the smaller and less structurally complex alkyl group. Specifically, when CH₃OCH(CH₃)₂ reacts with HI, the result is the production of CH₃I and (CH₃)₂CHOH in the reaction mixture.
So, the correct option is (D): CH3I + (CH3)2CHOH

Concepts Used:
Alcohols, Phenols, and Ethers - Nomenclature
Nomenclature of Alcohol:
The common name of alcohol is formed from the common name of the alkyl group by adding alcohol to it. Alkanols is the IUPAC name of alcohol. Generally, they are represented in reactions by the general formula R-OH.
Nomenclature of Phenols:
Phenol is the hydroxy derivative of benzene. It is both its common name and IUPAC name. As the structure of phenol has a benzene ring in its substituted compounds, the terms ortho, meta and para are often used in the common names.
Phenols are further divided into three classes which are monohydric phenols, dihydric phenols, and trihydric phenols. Certain rules are decided for the IUPAC nomenclature of Phenols.
Nomenclature of Ethers:
Ethers are the organic compounds that have two same or different alkyl or aryl groups bonded to an oxygen atom. They are commonly represented as R-O-R or R1–O–R2. The ether functional group does not have a characteristic IUPAC nomenclature suffix. Certain rules are decided for the IUPAC nomenclature of Ethers.
