Q. When alkyl aryl ether is heated with HI, it gives

Alcohols Phenols and Ethers

Solution:

When alkyl aryl ether is heated with HI, R-O bond (where, R = alkyl group) cleaves and alkyl halide and phenol are obtained
$\underset{\text{alkyl phenyl ether}}{C_6H_5 - O - R + HI} \rightarrow \underset{\text{alkyl halide}}{RI} + \underset{\text{phenol}}{C_6H_5OH}$
