Select the best explanation for why methanol, CH3OH, cannot be used as a solvent for the deprotonation of a terminal alkyne by sodium amide, NaNH2.
◦ Sodium amide is not a strong enough base to deprotonate the alkyne.
◦ Methanol is toxic and should be avoided when possible.
◦ Methanol is more acidic than the alkyne and will be deprotonated by NaNH2.
◦ Methanol is a poor solvent for dissolving alkynes.
◦ Sodium amide in methanol reduces alkynes to alkenes.
