    Among the following ethers, which one will produce methyl alcohol on treatment with hot concentrated HI?

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-C{{H}_{2}}-O-C{{H}_{3}}\]

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

    C)  \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{-}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \\  \text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} \\  \text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\text{C}}}}\,\text{-O-C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    D)  \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{-}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \\  \text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\text{CH}}}\,\text{-C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{-O-C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The ether, which gives more stable carbonation, gives \[C{{H}_{3}}OH\] as one of the product with hot concentrated HI. The order of stability of carbonation is \[3{}^\circ >2{}^\circ >1{}^\circ \] Thus,\[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \\  \text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} \\  \text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\text{C}}}}\,-\text{OC}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\]  gives \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{OH}\] as one of the reaction. The reaction proceeds as \[{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{C}-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \\  \text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}} \\  \text{ }\!\!|\!\!\text{ } \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\text{C}}}}\,-\text{O}-\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{+}{{\text{H}}^{\text{+}}}\]
