The products formed when diethyl ether is reacted with cold HI are
Options
- AC ₂ H ₅ I + C ₂ H ₅ OH
- B2 C ₂ H ₅ I + H ₂ O
- C2 C ₂ H ₅ OH
- DC ₂ H ₅- O - O - C ₂ H ₅+ H ₂ O
Correct answer
A. C ₂ H ₅ I + C ₂ H ₅ OH
Step-by-step solution
When diethyl ether reacts with cold HI , ethyl alcohol and ethyl iodide are formed as final products as follows C ₂ H ₅- O - C ₂ H ₅+ HI C ₂ H ₅ OH + C ₂ H ₅ I
