हिन्दीThe major products C and D formed in the following reaction respectively are \( \text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{O}-\text{C}(\text{CH}_3)_3 \xrightarrow[\Delta]{\text{excess HI}} \text{C} + \text{D} \)
Correct answer · Option 2
\( \text{H}_3\text{C}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{I} \text{ and } \text{I}-\text{C}(\text{CH}_3)_3 \)
Explanation
Reaction of mixed ether with excess HI proceeds via an \( \text{S}_\text{N}1 \) mechanism for tertiary alkyl groups to form tert-butyl iodide and \( \text{S}_\text{N}2 \) for primary alkyl groups to form 1-iodopropane.
