Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The alkyl halides needed to prepare the given ketone using the acetoacetic ester synthesis are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The α hydrogen attached to the β- keto ester is acidic in nature and the hydrolysis and decarboxylation of the product obtained by substitution reaction of enolate ion with alkyl halide gives ketone. The ketone comprises of two components the alkyl group of alkyl halide and the β- keto ester.

Interpretation Introduction
