$\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}$bond with benzene ring cannot undergo cleavage due to resonance, it develop partial double bond character.


(ii)${\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_5-\mathrm{O}-{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_5\to \mathrm{X}$
Due to the positive charge on benzene ring$\left(\mathrm{C}\mathrm{s}{\mathrm{P}}^2\right)$is a highly unstable.
