Use the Witting reaction to answer the following question.
single reaction sequence: a certain ketone undergoes alkylation to give new ketone, when reacted with a base and then an alkylating agent, 1-bromopropane. What is the structure of the final ketone product?
Account for the fact that hydroperoxidation of ethers is regioselective (i.e., reaction occurs preferentially at a carbon adjacent to the ether oxygen).
