Vedclass · Answer

(B) The reaction of tert-butyl methyl ether with $HI$ proceeds via an $S_N1$ mechanism because the tert-butyl carbocation is highly stable. $CH_3-C(CH_3)_2-OCH_3 + HI 	o CH_3-C(CH_3)_2-I + CH_3OH$. The protonation of the ether oxygen is followed by the cleavage of the $C-O$ bond to form the stable tert-butyl carbocation,which then reacts with the iodide ion to form tert-butyl iodide and methanol.
