Vedclass · Answer

(D) The reaction of an alkyl aryl ether with concentrated $HI$ involves the cleavage of the $C-O$ bond between the alkyl group and the oxygen atom. This is because the $C(aryl)-O$ bond has partial double bond character due to resonance and is stronger. Thus,the reaction of phenyl isopropyl ether with $HI$ yields phenol $(A)$ and isopropyl iodide. However,in the context of the given options,the reaction proceeds to form phenol $(A)$. When phenol $(A)$ is heated with $Zn$ dust,it undergoes reduction to form benzene $(B)$.

Compound $I$ is heated with Conc. $HI$ to give a hydroxy compound $A$ which is further heated with $Zn$ dust to give compound $B$. Identify $A$ and $B$.
