1 mole of HI is allowed to react with t-butyl methylether. Identify the product and write down the mechanism of the reactions.

Explanation

Step-1 : `underset(("t-butyl methyl ether"))(CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-underset(..)overset(..)(O) - CH_(3)) + H - I underset(+ I^(oplus))overset(-I^(oplus))(harr) underset(("oxonium ion"))(CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C) - underset(oplus)overset(H)overset(|)(O)- CH_(3))`
Step-2 :
Overall reaction :
`underset(("t-butyl methyl iodide"))(CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-O-CH_(3)) underset(("1 mole"))overset(HI)rarr underset(("t-butyl iodide"))(CH_(3) - underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C) - I) + CH_(3)OH`
