Assertion(A): (CH3)3 C – O – CH3 on reaction with HI gives CH3OH and (CH3)3 C – I as the main products and not (CH3)3 C – OH and CH3 I.
Reason (R): (CH3)3 C + (Tertiary carbo cation) is more stable and reacts with HI to form (CH3)3 C – I as main product.
(a) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and are wrong
