Hi all. Hope studying is going well... I just had a quick question. In
this problem, (especially part b) the answer book uses (CH3)3COK as one of
the solvents. My question is this: is this reagent really that
important? The text didn't talk about this idea at all, other than
problem 10.20. This idea of using RK is not hard, I just don't understand
it as much. I was especially curious, because I used a different
synthesis for the reaction.

Please reflect if you can.
Thanks!
