For the cleavage of ether by HBr or HI, Ether +HBr or HI please choose every correct statement. Since the cleavage reaction includes the nulceophile, the solvent can have the reaction with ether. The cleavage reaction includes SN2 reaction. Alcohol is a good leaving group without the proton. The conjugate base, bromide or iodide, is acting as a nucleophile. For t-butyl methyl ether, the cleavage reaction with HI gives Methanol is formed as the major product in the cleavage reaction. t - Butyl iodide is one of products of the cleavage reaction when excess amount of Hl is used. t-butyl alcohol is formed in the cleavage reaction. methyl iodide is one of products of cleavage reaction
