Question

Choose the correct options for the given reaction

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The correct option is A

The explanation for the correct option:

Option (A):

1. Electrophilic addition of $\mathrm{HBr}$ takes place along with Ether hydrolysis using $\mathrm{HBr}$.
2. Markovnikov's Rule states that when hydrogen halide or protic acid ($\mathrm{HX}$) is added to an asymmetric alkene, the halide group attaches to the carbon with a greater number of alkyl substituents and the acid hydrogen attaches with more hydrogen substituents.
3. In a nucleophilic substitution reaction similar to that of alcohols, alkyl ethers are cleaved by the strong acids $\mathrm{HI}$ or $\mathrm{HBr}$.
4. Alcoholic oxygen being protonated in ether to create a stronger leaving group This process is quick and reversible. It is a Lewis base because to the oxygen's lone pairs.
5. The neutral alcohol molecule serves as the excellent leaving group, and the bromide ion attacks to displace it by cleaving the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}$ link. Alcohol and an alkyl bromide are produced as a result.

Therefore, the correct option is
