17. In detail, the GC-MS analysis gives 4 peaks for secondary products, two of which are small. MS analysis allows to identify only the intermediate, which is 2-alcoxymethylfurane. The remaining peaks give molecular ions at 259, 287, 244 as the result of the formation of larger molecules that could not be identified.
