(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Alkyl bromide used in the acetoacetic ester synthesis of each methyl ketone has to be stated.

Concept introduction: Acetoacetic ester synthesis is used to prepare methyl ketone of the desired length.  The acetoacetic ester is reacted with an alkoxide base which removes a α hydrogen atom.  The anion so formed is reacted with an alkyl bromide.  The anion abstracts the alkyl group from the alkyl bromide.  Acidic hydrolysis of the intermediate so formed on heating undergo decarboxylation which gives the desired methyl ketone.
