Question

Will CH3OH and CH3CH2OH make this same product for number one? 

**Consider the following multistep synthesis.**

A reaction sequence is shown with a starting compound containing a bromine (Br) attached to a cyclic structure. This compound undergoes transformation to an intermediate 1. Next, the intermediate 1 is converted into another compound 2 using HBr and ROOR. Compound 2 is transformed into another compound through step 3. Finally, this compound reacts with Br₂ to yield the final product 4.

**What is the identity of 1?**

There are several options provided to identify the reagent or solvent necessary for the transformation into intermediate 1.

1. KOtBu 
2. CH₃OH 
3. CH₃CH₂OH 
4. NaOCH₃ 
5. More than one of these can accomplish this transformation.
6. None of these can accomplish this transformation.

**Explanation:**

Select the appropriate option that represents the initial step reagent leading to the intermediate denoted as 1. Consider the nature of the starting material and the type of reaction required for this transformation.
