Question
**Reaction Assignment**

**Objective:** 
Draw the major product of the given reaction. Note: Inorganic byproducts and the carboxylic acid side product should be ignored.

**Reaction Details:**

**Reactant Structure:**
The initial reactant is a diacyl peroxide, depicted by two benzoyl groups (benzene rings bonded to a carbonyl group) connected by a peroxy bond (-O-O-).

**Reagents:**
- Methanol (CH₃OH)
- Pyridine

The arrow indicates that these reagents lead to a reaction with the given diacyl peroxide structure.

**Instructions:**
Students are required to draw the major organic product that results from the reaction of the diacyl peroxide with methanol in the presence of pyridine.

**Diagram Explanation:**
- The structure above the arrow shows a peroxide compound with two symmetrical phenyl groups.
- Arrows indicate the reaction pathway.

**Note:** Focus on the transformation involving the peroxy bond and methanol, facilitated by pyridine, to determine the major product.
