The heating of phenyl-methyl ethers with HI produces.
Explanation
Alkyl aryl ethers give phenol and alkyl iodide with HI.
Detailed Solution
$C_6H_5-O-CH_3 + HI \rightarrow C_6H_5OH + CH_3I$
The O–aryl bond has partial double bond character, so $I^-$ attacks the methyl carbon, giving phenol and methyl iodide.
