The correct sequence includes using LDA in THF to deprotonate the iminium ion, followed by an alkylation step with CH3CH2Br, and finally hydrolysis with H3O+ to yield the ketone. The answer confirms that the correct reagents and product are A = (i) LDA, THF (ii) CH3CH2Br (iii) H3O+ B = octan-4-one."}
