Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the formation of an acetal from acidic methanol and 4-methylpentan-2-one in the fewest steps. When given the choice, draw the arrows that lead to the resonance structures with full octets around each atom other than hydrogen. Do not show any inorganic byproducts or counterions. Reagents needed for each step are provided in the boxes.

Give one example of Williamson ether synthesis. Show the reactants materials and the product. Draw the reaction mechanism?
Heating an alcohol in the presence of sulfuric or phosphoric acid will cause a dehydration to occur: the removal of the elements of water from a molecule, forming an alkene. The reaction usually follows an E1 mechanism. The SN1 pathway is suppressed, both by heating the reaction mixture (more energy promotes the elimination pathway) and by using a strong acid whose conjugate base is a poor nucleophile. Draw curved arrow(s) to show how the alcohol reacts with phosphoric acid.
Can you help answer this problem and elaborate the steps clearly and show any reagent and intermediate steps?
