Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reaction mechanism for the given reactionis to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

>

The reaction of the ether with hydrogen halide results in the formation of respective alkyl halide and alcohol. In the respective reaction, the cleavage of the carbon-oxygen bond of ethers takes place hence it is also called as acid-catalyzed cleavage of ethers

>

In the presence of excess halide and heat, two alkyl halides are produced along with the water molecule.

>

In such reactions, the most reactive hydrogen halide is hydrogen iodide.
