JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 7. Alcohol, phenol and ethers
Consider the following reaction.
Statement I : In the above reaction, product formed will be a mixture of benzyl alcohol and iodobenzene.
Statement II : In the above reaction, the \(-\text{O}-\text{CH}_2-\) bond is cleaved to give the product.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The given reactant is phenyl benzyl ether (\(C_6H_5-O-CH_2-C_6H_5\)). When it reacts with \(HI\), the ether oxygen is first protonated to form an oxonium ion. The cleavage of the ether linkage then takes place. The \(C_6H_5-O\) bond has partial double bond character due to the…
