Two compounds [A] and [B] have molecular formula `C_(2)H_(6)O.` On reacting with HI [A] gives alkyl iodide and water while [B] gives alkyl iodide and alcohol . What are the compounds [A] and [B] ? Write the reactions involved.

A

`CH_3OC_2H_5 and CH_OC_H_5`

B

`CH_3OCH_3 and C_2H_5OCH_3 `

C

`C_2H_5OH and CH_3OCH_3 `

D

`CH_3OH and CH_3OCH_3 `

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`underset((X))(C_2H_5OH)+HIrarrC_2H_5I+H_2O`
`underset((Y))(CH_(3))OCH_(3)+HIrarrCH_(3)I+CH_(3)OH`
