Each of the following is a set of directions for carrying out a reaction or sequence of reactions. Rewrite each set ofdirections in the form of a synthesis.(a) To 2-ethylcyclohexanone, add lithium diisopropylamide, and when that reaction is complete, add bromoethane toyield 2,6-diethylcyclohexanone.(b) Add molecular bromine to 2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone in the presence of acetic acid to yield 6-bromo-2,2-dimethylcyclohexanone. To the resulting mixture, add sodium cyanide to yield 6-cyano-2,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanone.(c) Treat pent-4-ynoic acid with diazomethane to produce methyl pent-4-ynoate. Next, add sodium hydride, followed by(bromomethyl)benzene, to yield methyl 6-phenylhex-4-ynoate.
