Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The different ways to prepare given ketone from an acid chloride and an organocuprate reagent are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Acid chlorides, which contains good leaving group $\text{Cl}$, on reaction with organocuprate give ketone as a product. Alkyl group from organocuprate occupies the position of leaving group $\text{Cl}$.
