The reaction
$CH_3 - \overset{\underset{|}{CH_3}}{C}H - CH_2 - O CH_2 - CH_3 + HI {->[{{\text{Heated}}}]}\,\,\,$..........
Which of the following compounds will be formed?
When conc. $HI$ or $HBr$ reacts with ether, the corresponding alcohol and iodide is formed. When
there is a case of mixed ethers the halogen atom attaches to the smaller alkyl group, due to steric
effect.
Alcohol is formed when a saturated carbon atom bonds to a hydroxyl (-OH) group. It is an organic compound that contains a hydroxyl functional group attached to a carbon atom.
Phenol is formed when the -OH group replaces the hydrogen atom in benzene. It is an organic compound in which a hydroxyl group directly attaches to an aromatic hydrocarbon.
Ether is formed when oxygen atom bonds to two alkyl or aryl groups. It is an organic compound that has an oxygen atom that is connected to two aryl and alkyl groups.
