MCQ

Assertion : Ethyl phenyl ether on reaction with $HBr$ form phenol and ethyl bromide.
Reason : Cleavage of $C-O$ bond takes place on ethyl-oxygen bond due to the more stable phenyl-oxygen bond

A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
✓
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

c
Alkyl aryl ether are cleaved at the alkyl-oxygen bond due to the more stable aryl - oxygen bond. The reaction yields phenol and alkyl halide

Ether with two different alkyl groups are also cleaved in the same manner.
