Explanation:
Mechanism Protonation of anisole gives methylphenyl oxonium ion. In this ion, the bond between O-CH3 is weaker than the bond between O-C6H5 which has partial double bond character. ... Therefore, attack by I- ion exclusively breaks the weaker O-CH3 bond forming methyl iodide and phenol.
