Complete the synthesis of ethyl (E)-2,2,4-trimethyl-3-oxo-5-phenylpent-4-enoate from the starting material given (ethyl propionate). You must list out all reagents/solvents next to the reaction arrows and draw the intermediate structures in the boxes. I am giving you one restriction. You are not allowed to introduce any enolates as reagents next to the reaction arrows.

Using acetylene as your only source of carbon atoms, identify a synthetic route for the production of 1-bromobutane. First, select the reagents necessary for the transformation shown, using no more than four steps in the synthesis. In part 2, you will synthesize any carbon reagents (other than acetylene) that were used in the synthesis. The transformation above can be performed with some reagent or combination of the reagents listed below. Give the necessary reagent(s) in the correct order, as a string of letters (without spaces or punctuation, such as "EBF"). If there is more than one correct solution, provide just one answer.

Another mechanism for the formation of epoxides is through the formation of a chlorohydrin. Alkenes react with chlorine in the presence of H₂O to give a chlorohydrin via a cyclic chloronium ion intermediate. When the chlorohydrin is treated with strong base, HCI is eliminated and the epoxide is formed. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

The following reaction involves two sequential Heck reactions. Draw structural formu- las for each organopalladium intermediate formed in the sequence and show how the final product is formed. Note from the molecular formula given under each structural formula that this conversion corresponds to a loss of H and I from the starting material. Acetonitrile, CH,CN, is the solvent. 1% mol Pd(OAc), 4% mol Ph,P CH,CN C4H171 C4H16
