Methoxybenzene on treatment with \(\mathrm{HI}\) produces
- A iodobenzene and methanol
- B phenol and methyl iodide
- C iodobenzene and methyl iodide
- D phenol and methanol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) phenol and methyl iodide
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Methoxybenzene on treatment with HI produces phenol and methyl iodide. This is due the more stable aryl oxygen bond. Here. methyl phenyl oxonium ion is formed by the protonation of ether. The bond between \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) is weaker than the bond between…
