Show how you might prepare the following compounds using an alkylation reaction as the key step:

All attempts to isolate primary and secondary nitroso compounds result solely in the formation of oximes. Tertiary nitroso compounds, however, are stable. Explain.

Which, if any, of the following compounds can be prepared by a malonic ester synthesis? Show the alkyl halide you would use in each case.
(a)Ethyl pentanoate (b)Ethyl 3-methylbutanoate
(c)Ethyl 2-methylbutanoate (d) Ethyl 2,2-dimethylpropanoate
When a ketone is treated with acid and a halogen, the a-monohalogenated product can be obtained in high yield. However, under basic conditions it is extremely difficult to isolate the mono halogenated product. Provide an explanation for this reactivity.
How could you use a malonic ester synthesis to prepare the following compound?
