Main Products formed during a reaction of 1-methoxy naphthalene with hydroiodic acid are:
The explanation for the correct option.
(D)
The main Products formed during a reaction of 1-methoxy naphthalene with hydroiodic acid are 1- Naphthol and Methyl iodide. The mechanism of the reaction is given below.
The explanation for the incorrect options.
(A) -
The main Products formed during a reaction of 1-methoxy naphthalene with hydroiodic acid are 1- Naphthol and Methyl iodide.
(B) -
The first product formed between the 1-methoxy naphthalene with hydroiodic acid is correct,1-Naphthol, but the second product is methyl iodide, not methanol.
(C) -
Hydroxyl group attached to the 1-position of naphthalene, so the product formed is 1-Naphthaol and Methyl iodide.
Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
