Ques. 1NEET (UG) 2020

Anisole on cleavage with HI gives :

  1. [figure]
  2. [figure]
  3. [figure]
  4. [figure]

Answer

(4) [figure]

Solution

As per NCERT, in alkyl aryl ethers the O-Caryl bond is stronger (partial double bond character due to resonance), so cleavage occurs at the O-CH3 bond.

C6H5-O-CH3 + H-I C6H5- OH-CH3 + I

I attacks the less hindered CH3 (SN2) C6H5OH + CH3I

Phenol does not react further with HI to give iodobenzene.
