Answer» Solution :In ANISOLE `(C_(6)H_(5)-O-CH_(3)),C_(6)H_(5)-O` bond has some double bond character due to resonance and hence more difficult to break. As a result, nucleophilic attack by `I^-` ION occurs on `CH_(3)` group FORMING methyl iodide and phenol. `UNDERSET("Anisole")(C_(6)H_(5)O-CH_(3))+HI overset(373K)to underset("Phenol")(C_(6)H_(5)OH)+underset("Methyl iodide")(CH_(3)I)`. |
