16.4 Methoxymethyl (MOM) groups are commonly used as protecting groups for hydroxyls (OH). The reagent that is used to install this group is called MOM chloride (MOMCI). HO MOM MeO Et3N CI MOM MeO a) The mechanism for installing a MOM group involves an S1-like reaction (oxonium ion intermediate). Give a mechanism for its reaction with the compound shown. b) MOM groups are removed using H₂O and acid. Give a mechanism for this process.
