How would you prepare the following ketones using an acetoacetic ester synthesis?

When an optically active carboxylic acid such as (R)-2-phenylpropanoic acid is brominated under Hell–Volhard–Zelinskii conditions, is the product optically active or racemic? Explain.
How might you convert geraniol into either ethyl geranylacetate or geranylacetone?

Would you expect optically active (S)-3-methylcyclohexanone to be racemized on acid or base treatment in the same way as 2-methylcyclohexanone (Problem 22-51)? Explain.
