Consider the following reaction scheme: NaOCH3 + CH3OH → CH3OCH3 + NaOH CH3OH + HSO4- → CH3OH2+ + SO4^2- CH3OH2+ → CH3OCH3 + H2O CH3OCH3 → CH3OCH2 + CH3OCH2 C D A 8 ELOH .OCH3 OH OCH3 HCO HCO OH OH G H E F Product 1 is [Select] which forms selectively because [Select] Product 2 is [Select] which forms selectively because [Select]
