1. Br₂, PBrg 2. H₂O H₂C OH H3C OH Br The a-bromination of carbonyl compounds by Br₂ in acetic acid is limited to aldehydes and ketones because acids, esters, and amides don't enolize to a sufficient extent. Carboxylic acids, however, can be a-brominated by first converting the carboxylic acid to an acid bromide by treatment with PBr3. Following enolization of the acid bromide, Br₂ reacts in an α- substitution reaction. Hydrolysis of the acid bromide completes the reaction. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism. Arrow-pushing Instructions

NAC↔X™ Ph Ph OH Acid chlorides react with Grignard reagents to yield tertiary alcohols, two equivalents of Grignard reagent are required. The first equivalent reacts in a typical nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction to give a ketone. This ketone, however, is itself reactive in the Grignard reaction. Thus, the second equivalent adds to the ketone carbonyl carbon. Subsequent protonation yields the tertiary alcohol. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.
