Give a detailed mechanism for the reaction that occurs when ethyl methylmalonate CH3-CH(C=OOC2H5)2, acetone and 2-chloroacrylonitrile (CH2=CClCN) react in the presence of a base, to yield an epoxy compound CH3-C(EtOOC)2-CH2-C(NC)-O-C(CH3)2
Suggest a suitable mechanism. - Suggest a suitable mechanism for the reaction of 9-fluorenone with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form the corresponding 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone.
Elimination mechanism. - I need help with this elimination mechanism. Please see attachment. Thanks.

Mechanism - When (S)-2-bromopropanoic acid [(S)-CH3CHBrCO2H] reacts with concentrated sodium hydroxide, the product formed (after acidification) is (R)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid, commonly known as (R)-lactic acid. ...
mechanisms - reversible reactions - When (1) and (2) are placed in a solution of sodium methoxide and methanol, (3) is formed. What is the structure of (3)? Provide a DETAILED mechanism for this reaction.
