Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of an alkyl aryl ether like ethoxybenzene $(C_6H_5OC_2H_5)$ with hot and concentrated $HI$ involves the cleavage of the $C-O$ bond between the alkyl group and the oxygen atom.This occurs because the $C-O$ bond between the phenyl ring and oxygen has partial double bond character due to resonance,making it stronger and harder to break.Therefore,the $HI$ attacks the alkyl group,resulting in the formation of phenol $(C_6H_5OH)$ and ethyl iodide $(C_2H_5I)$.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ $CH_3-O-CH_3$	$(1)$ $C_6H_5OH + CH_3I$
$(B)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-O-CH_3$	$(2)$ $(CH_3)_3C-I + CH_3OH$
$(C)$ $(CH_3)_3C-O-CH_3$	$(3)$ $C_6H_5I + CH_3OH$
$(D)$ $C_6H_5-O-CH_3$	$(4)$ $CH_3OH + CH_3I$
	$(5)$ $(CH_3)_2CHOH + CH_3I$
	$(6)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-I + CH_3OH$
	$(7)$ $(CH_3)_3COH + CH_3I$

Identify the product obtained when ethoxybenzene reacts with hot and concentrated $HI$.
