Phenol and methyl iodide is produced in the reaction.
Explanation:
- The phenyl methyl ether is a ether compound of Phenol and methanol.
- The hydrogen iodide that is the reactant undergoes a 2nd order substitution reaction on the ether.
- As the hydrogen iodide gets protonated, the Proton attacks the oxygen of ether making it donate one of the lone pairs of electrons to hydrogen.
- This is now attacked by the iodide which is the nucleophile.
- As the iodide enters, the phenol group is slowly replaced by iodine and phenol and methyl iodide is produced.
