tert-butyl methyl ether on heating with anhydrous HI in ether gives

A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}OH+{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}Cl\]

B)  \[C{{H}_{3}}I+{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}COH\]

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

D)  None of the above

Correct Answer: B

Solution :

 Here, ether is the solvent. Being less polar, it favours\[{{S}_{N}}2\]reaction and the nucleophile F attacks the\[1{}^\circ \]carbon of\[C{{H}_{3}}\].
