    What are the products of the following reaction \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\xrightarrow[Heat]{excess\text{ }HBr}?\]

    A)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH+BrC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\]

    B)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH+HOC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    C)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}Br+HOC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH+BrC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}OH\xrightarrow[Heat]{Excess\text{ }HBr}\]       \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}OH+BrC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}Br\] Alkyl aryl ethers are cleaved at the alkyl oxygen bond due to the more stable aryl-oxygen bond.
