Another tricky one. This reaction only requires the starting material and a strong non-nucleophilic (sterically hindered) base such as lithium diisopropylamide (LDA), and inorganic reagents. Again about 3-4 steps are needed. Mechanism of the Week. Make sure you explain why the regioisomer specified is formed. HNY OHNAC +Enantiomer a Dil. Na
