The problem given is:

\[
\text{Given that } \sin\left(\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) - \cos \alpha = \frac{1}{2}, \text{ find } \sin\left(2\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right).
\]

### Step 1: Expanding the given equation

Use the sine addition formula for \(\sin\left(\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\):
\[
\sin\left(\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \sin\alpha \cos\frac{\pi}{6} + \cos\alpha \sin\frac{\pi}{6}.
\]
Substitute \(\cos\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) and \(\sin\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\):
\[
\sin\left(\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin\alpha + \frac{1}{2} \cos\alpha.
\]

Now, substitute this into the original equation:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin\alpha + \frac{1}{2} \cos\alpha - \cos\alpha = \frac{1}{2}.
\]

Simplify the equation:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin\alpha - \frac{1}{2} \cos\alpha = \frac{1}{2}.
\]

### Step 2: Solve for \(\sin \alpha\) and \(\cos \alpha\)

We have the equation:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin\alpha - \frac{1}{2} \cos\alpha = \frac{1}{2}.
\]
Multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fractions:
\[
\sqrt{3} \sin\alpha - \cos\alpha = 1.
\]
This is a system of trigonometric equations that we'll solve later.

### Step 3: Use the double-angle identity for sine

We want to find \(\sin\left(2\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\), so use the addition formula for sine:
\[
\sin\left(2\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \sin 2\alpha \cos\frac{\pi}{6} + \cos 2\alpha \sin\frac{\pi}{6}.
\]
Substitute \(\cos\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) and \(\sin\frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{1}{2}\):
\[
\sin\left(2\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \sin 2\alpha + \frac{1}{2} \cos 2\alpha.
\]

### Step 4: Express \(\sin 2\alpha\) and \(\cos 2\alpha\)

We can use the double-angle formulas for sine and cosine:
\[
\sin 2\alpha = 2 \sin\alpha \cos\alpha,
\]
\[
\cos 2\alpha = \cos^2\alpha - \sin^2\alpha.
\]

Substitute these into the equation:
\[
\sin\left(2\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} (2 \sin\alpha \cos\alpha) + \frac{1}{2} (\cos^2\alpha - \sin^2\alpha).
\]

### Next Step

Now we need to solve the system for \(\sin \alpha\) and \(\cos \alpha\) from the equation \(\sqrt{3} \sin\alpha - \cos\alpha = 1\), and then substitute the values into the expression for \(\sin\left(2\alpha + \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\).
