Q. An ether which cannot be cleaved by $HI \, at \, 373 \, K$ . The compound is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

$C-O$ bond with benzene ring cannot undergo cleavage due to resonance, it develop partial double bond character.

Solution

(ii) $C_{6}H_{5}-O-C_{6}H_{5} \rightarrow X$

Due to the positive charge on benzene ring $\left(C s P^{2}\right)$ is a highly unstable.

(iii)

Solution

(iv)
