The major organic product in the reaction, CH_(3)-O-CH(CH_(3))_(2)+ HI to "Product" is

Answer»

`ICH_(2)OCH(CH_(3))_(2)`
`CH_(3)OC(CH_(3))_(2)`
`CH_(3)I+ (CH_(3))_(2)CHOH`
`CH_(3)OH+ (CH_(3))_(2)CHI`

Solution :In case of unsymmeterical ethers the site of cleavage depends on the nature of alkyl GROUP e.g
`CH_(3)O CH(CH_(3))_(2)+ HI OVERSET(373K)to underset("Methyl iodide")(CH_(3)I)+ underset("ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL")((CH_(3))_(2)CHOH)`
The alkyl halide is always formed from the smaller alkyl group.
