A mixed ether (P), when heated with excess of hot concentrated hydrogen iodide produces two different alkyl iodides which when treated with aq. NaOH give compounds (Q) and (R). Both (Q) and (R) give yellow precipitate with NaOI. Identify the mixed ether (P):

  • A
    Skeletal structure of a mixed ether with an ethyl group on the left and a branched tert-amyl type alkyl group on the right connected through oxygen.
  • B
    Skeletal structure of isopropyl sec-butyl ether, showing two different secondary alkyl groups connected through an oxygen atom.
  • C
    Skeletal structure of a mixed ether containing an ethyl group on one side and a phenyl-substituted secondary alkyl group on the other.
  • D
    Skeletal structure of a mixed ether containing a phenethyl group on one side and a sec-butyl group on the other.
