Chapter 17, Problem 17.46P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

How to carry out the given transformation is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Sodium hydride is a strong base but a poor nucleophile. So it will deprotonate the alpha carbon of the carbonyl compound. This will generate a strong nucleophile as well as a strong base, the enolate ion. This enolate ion attacks the electrophilic carbon in alkyl halides to displace the halide ion in an SN2 reaction. This will yield an alpha-alkylated aldehyde or ketone.
