  • question_answer
    The reaction:     [AIPMT (S) 2007]
    \[C{{H}_{3}}-\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  C{{H}_{3}} \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{CH}}\,-C{{H}_{2}}-O-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{3}}+HI\xrightarrow{Heated}....\]
    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 :

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