i)CH3−CH2−CH3|CH−CH2−O=CH2−CH3ii)CH3−CH2−CH2−O−CH3|C|CH3−CH3
Give the major products that are formed by heating each of the following ethers with HI.
i)CH3−CH2−CH3|CH−CH2−O=CH2−CH3
ii)CH3−CH2−CH2−O−CH3|C|CH3−CH3

Solution
This is the mechanism by which the reaction occurs. As SN2 substitution is involved, we will get the following major products:
i) CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2−OH and CH3CH2−I
ii) CH3CH2CH2−I and CH3CH2C(CH3)2−OH
iii) Ph−CH2−I and Ph−OH
i) CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2−OH and CH3CH2−I
ii) CH3CH2CH2−I and CH3CH2C(CH3)2−OH
iii) Ph−CH2−I and Ph−OH
