Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The product expected when tetrahydrofuran is cleaved by treating with HI is to be given.
Concept introduction:
Ethers are cleaved by strong acids. The cleavage takes place either by SN1 or SN2 mechanisms, depending upon the structure of the substrate. Ethers with only primary and secondary alkyl groups react by SN2 mechanism. The Br- or I- attacks the protonated ether at the less hindered side to yield a single alcohol and a single
To give:
The product expected when tetrahydrofuran is cleaved by treating with HI.
