                    The reaction:                                                                                                                                                                     \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-O-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}+HI\xrightarrow{Heated}....\]                 Which of the following compounds will be formed?

    A)                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-I+C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]        

    B)                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}+C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    C)                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  C{{H}_{3}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}OH+C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{3}}\]           

    D)                 \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}OH+C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-I\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    When cone. HI or HBr react 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.                 \[\begin{align}   & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}} \\  & C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}-O-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}+HI\xrightarrow[{}]{\Delta } \\ \end{align}\]                 \[\begin{align}   & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,C{{H}_{3}} \\  & C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{|}{\mathop{C}}\,H-C{{H}_{2}}OH+C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}I \\ \end{align}\]
