Why wash with sodium hydroxide? A) It's known to break down and solubilize hydrocarbons (oven cleaner). We use it in this reaction to remove hydrocarbon solvent. B) It is needed to neutralize all of the acid created in the reaction, converting them into water soluble salts. C) It is an additional source of oxygen to insure the proper formation of the acyl group and the methoxy group. D) It's a drying step that absorbs water away from the organic layer.
