base 00 H30. R-X ソ0R-...O OR-X.RO WTo,RO RO OR -x RO OR CO2, ROH OR malonic ester RThis is malonic ester synthesis

So following the scheme above you delocalize electrons with the base (Methoxide, -OCH3, is acting like a base) and add the brominated alkyl group to the center carbon to produce the following.

Treatment by another base should displace Br from the compound to produce

LiAlH4 will then reduce all carbonyl bonds

This is as far as I got in the time I had left, hope this helps you on your way!

Answer #3

The Br thing adds to the middle as above, but when more base is used in step 3, the Br on the other side attaches, forming a ring. LiAlH4/H2O changes the ketones into alcohols, which allows for the acetal formation in step 6.
