Assertion (A): Ethers on reaction with air and light form hydroperoxides. These peroxides decompopse violently at high temperature. Allyl-n-propyl ether with `O_(2)` in light gives mainly 1-hydroperoxide allyl-n-propyl ether.
Reason (R ): The reaction proceeds via the formation of radical anion.

A

B

If both (A) and (R ) are true but (R ) is not the correct explanation of (A).
