Answer:
In our discussions of the aldol condensation and the Claisen condensation we saw how deprotonation of a carbon atom a to a carbonyl group generated an enolate ion. Suppose for the moment that you wanted to react such a nucleophilic species with an alkyl halide as suggested in Figure 1 for the specific case of acetone. In other words, you want to synthesize 2-butanone from acetone.
