A common illicit synthesis of methamphetamine involves an interesting variation of the Birch reduction. A solution of ephedrine in alcohol is added to liquid ammonia, followed by several pieces of lithium metal. The Birch reduction usually reduces the aromatic ring, but in this case it eliminates the hydroxy group of ephedrine to give methamphetamine. Propose a mechanism, similar to that for the Birch reduction, to explain this unusual course of the reaction.
b) Listed below are several hypothetical nucleophilic substitution reactions.
None is synthetically useful because the product indicated is not formed at an
appreciable rate. In each case provide an explanation for the failure of the
reaction to take place as indicated.

In an acid-catalyzed reaction, if one of the epoxide carbons is tertiary and the other primary, the nucleophile will attack at the more substituted carbon.
