The ketones shown below can all be synthesized starting from cyclohexa-1,3-dione (also given below) and
a different additional precursor for each case.
For each synthesis write the structure of the additional precursor in the boxes provided. Write also any
other reagent (acid, base, etc) needed.
Note that certain syntheses might require specific acids or bases; make sure to indicate these.
