    The major organic product in the reaction, \[C{{H}_{3}}-O-CH{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}+HI\to \]Product is

    A) \[IC{{H}_{2}}OCH{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}\]

    B) \[\begin{align}   & C{{H}_{3}}OC{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}} \\  & | \\  & I \\ \end{align}\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}I+{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHOH\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}OH+{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHI\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] In case ofunsymmetrical ethers, the site of cleavage depends on the nature of alkyl group e.g., \[C{{H}_{3}}O-CH{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}+HI\xrightarrow{373K}\]             \[\underset{Methyl\,\,iodide}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}I+}}\,\underset{Isopropyl\,\,alcohol}{\mathop{{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHOH}}\,\] The alkyl halide is always formed from the smaller alkyl group.
