Show how you would accomplish the following conversions in good yields. You may use any necessary reagents.

Step 1: Reagent

A reagent is a substance that is added in the reaction to form the product from the reaction means they are used to complete the chemical reactions.

It is a reaction shown by an enolate ion formed by aldehyde or ketone in which halogenation occurs at the alpha position to the carbonyl.

As per the reaction given alpha halogenation is occur because the alpha hydrogen is replaced by the halogen.

The alpha hydrogen is the hydrogen of the carbon next to the carbonyl group so the hydrogen is removed and enolate is formed which on further reaction with the halogen forms alpha halo ketone by adding the halogen at the alpha position to the carbonyl.

For alpha halogenation reagent is used as shown:
