(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products for the given reactions to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Acidic cleavage of Ethers: Generally ethers are unreactive under basic or mildly acidic conditions. When the ethers are heated with a concentrated solution of a strong acid, ether will undergo acidic cleavage in which ether is converted into two alkyl halides.

HBr &HI Acids are used to cleave ether. HCl Is less effective, but HF acid does not cleave ethers due to the relative nucleophilicity of the halide ions.

Two step mechanistic ways:

  1. I. Proton transfer.
  2. II. Nucleophile attack via SN2 process.

To identify: The products for the give reactions to be identified.
