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.
Heating carvone with aqueous sulfuric acid converts it into carvacrol. Propose a mechanism for the isomerization.

Draw structures for the enol tautomers of the following compounds:
(a) Cyclopentanone
(b) Methyl thioacetate
(c) Ethyl acetate
(d) Propanal
(e) Acetic acid
(f) Phenylacetone
All attempts to isolate primary and secondary nitroso compounds result solely in the formation of oximes. Tertiary nitroso compounds, however, are stable. Explain.

The two optically beta-keto acids below were decarboxylated using the conditions typically used for the acetoacetate synthesis. Will the ketone products also be optically active? Provide the complete mechanism to explain your answer.
