Devise a synthesis of the ketone hexan-3-one, CH3CH2COCH2CH2CH3, from CH3CH2Br as the only organic starting material; that is, all the carbon atoms in hexan-3-one must come from CH3CH2Br. You may use any other neededreagents.
When cis-2-decalone is dissolved in ether containing a trace of HCI, an equilibrium is
established with trans-2-decalone. The latter ketone predominates in the equilibrium
mixture.

Propose a mechanism for this isomerization and account for the fact that the trans iso-
mer predominates at equilibrium.
