Anisole on cleavage with HI gives:




To solve this problem, we need to understand the reaction of anisole with HI.Anisole is methoxybenzene, with the structure CHOCHWhen anisole is treated with HI, the reaction involves the cleavage of the C-O bond. This is because the methyl group forms a better leaving group as methyl iodide (CHI) compared to phenyl iodide.The reaction proceeds as follows:CHOCHHICHOHCHIThis results in phenol and methyl iodide Thus, the correct option is Option 4, which shows phenol and methyl iodide as the products.
