The products formed during the following reaction are
Ans:a
Exp:(a) When one of the alkyl groups is tertiary, the alkyl halide is formed from the tertiary alkyl group.
This is due to the reason that the reaction occurs by \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) mechanism and the formation of products is controlled by the stability of the carbocation resulting from the cleavage of \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) bond in protonated ether (oxonium ion). Since a tert-butyl carbocation is more stable than methyl carbocation, therefore, cleavage of \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) bond gives methyl alcohol and the more stable tert-butyl carbocation. This carbocation then reacts with \(\mathrm{I}^{-}\)ion to form tert-butyl iodide.
