Consider the following reaction: Identify products A and B





To solve this problem, we need to understand the reaction mechanism of the given ether with HI.The given compound is an ether: CHCHOCHWhen ethers react with HI, they undergo cleavage to form alcohols and alkyl iodides.Step-by-step reaction:1. Protonation of the ether oxygen:CHCHOCHHICHCHOHCHI2. Cleavage of the C-O bond:The bond between the benzyl group (CHCH) and the oxygen is cleaved.3. Formation of products:The benzyl group forms benzyl iodide , and the phenyl group forms phenol Therefore, the products are:CHCHIandCHOHThis corresponds to Option 3.
