to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.yus hang on i can figure this out
this is Ph-CH2-O-CH2CH3 right
hydrogen protonates oxygen giving it a plus charge
and then oxygen breaks the bond closer to the ring and takes both its electrons to form CH3CH2OH
because the resulting carbocation after that is resonance stabilized
and then iodine goes onto that carbocation making Ph-CH2I
i.e, Sn1 reaction
Ether ka cleave krke dekho kaha Carbocation stable banra hai
Thanks, got it!
