The major products formed by heating \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2 - \text{O} - \text{C}_6\text{H}_5 \) with HI are
The major products formed by heating \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2 - \text{O} - \text{C}_6\text{H}_5 \) with HI are
Show Hint
For alkyl aryl ethers (like anisole or benzyl phenyl ether), the cleavage with HI always yields phenol and an alkyl iodide. The C-O bond attached to the benzene ring is too strong to break due to resonance.
