11. Treatment of compound F with lithium diisopropylamide followed by cyclohexanone gives either G or H. G is formed if the aldehyde is added at -78°C whereas H is formed if the aldehyde is added at 0°C. Furthermore, treatment of G with lithium diisopropylamide at 0°C gives H. Explain these results.

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.

Why does cyclohexanol have a pK, of 18 and phenol, despite its similarities in structure, have a pK, of 10?
