Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction of an ether with $H_3O^+$ (acid-catalyzed cleavage) typically follows an $S_N2$ mechanism for primary and secondary alkyl groups. In the given ether,both alkyl groups attached to the oxygen are secondary. Cleavage occurs at the $C-O$ bond,resulting in the formation of two alcohols. Since the reaction proceeds via an $S_N2$ mechanism,the configuration at the chiral center where the bond is broken will be inverted. For the left side $(CH(Me)(D)-O-)$,the $C-O$ bond cleavage leads to $CH(Me)(D)OH$ with inversion. For the right side $(-O-CH(Me)(Et))$,the $C-O$ bond cleavage leads to $CH(Me)(Et)OH$ with inversion. Option $A$ represents the alcohol from the left side without inversion. Option $B$ represents the alcohol from the right side without inversion. Option $C$ represents the alcohol from the left side with inversion. Option $D$ represents the alcohol from the right side with inversion. Since the reaction involves $S_N2$ inversion,the products formed are the inverted alcohols. Therefore,the alcohols with the original configuration (non-inverted) are not present in the major product mixture.
