On treatment of the following compound
with a strong acid, the most susceptible
site for bond cleavage is :
C1−O2
O2−C3
C4−O5
O5−C6
As we have learnt,
Cleavage of ether by acid -
– Products forms are alcohol and haloalkane.
– When HX is in excess
- wherein
After cleavage of O2 - C3 both oxygen with negetive charge and C with positive charge are resonance stablised.
Option 1)
C1−O2
Option 2)
O2−C3
Option 3)
C4−O5
Option 4)
O5−C6
