HBr reacts with CH_2=CH-OCH_3 under anhydrous condditions at room temp

1.	HBr reacts with CH_2=CH-OCH_3 under anhydrous condditions at room temperature to give
Answer» `CH_3CHO` and `CH_3Br` `BrCH_2CHO` and `CH_3OH` `BrCH_2-CH_2-OCH_3` `H_3C-CHBr-OCH_3` Solution :Methyl vinyl ETHER is a very reactive gas. It READILY undergoes HYDROLYSIS with dilute acid to form methanol and ACETALDEHYDE. HOWEVER, under anhydrous conditions at room temperature , it mainly undergoesaddition reaction as shown below :
