How would you carry out the following reactions? More than one step may be
required.
(a) 3-Hexyne3-Hexanone
(b) Benzenem-Bromoacetophenone
(c) BromobenzeneAcetophenone
(d) 1-Methylcyclohexene2-Methylcyclohexanone
How might you carry out the following selective transformations? One of the two schemes requires a protection step. (Recall from Section 19-4 that aldehydes are more reactive than ketones towards nucleophilic addition.)

b.

When 4-hydroxybutanal is treated with methanol in the presence of anacid catalyst, 2-methoxytetrahydrofuran is formed. Explain
How might you use IR spectroscopy to determine whether reaction between2-cyclohexenoneand lithium dimethylcopper gives the direct addition productor the conjugate addition product?
Draw the following molecule as a skeletal structure, and show how it can be prepared from a ketone and an amine.
