Using acetylene as your only source of carbon atoms, identify a synthetic route for the production of 1-bromobutane. First, select the reagents necessary for the transformation shown, using no more than four steps in the synthesis. In part 2, you will synthesize any carbon reagents (other than acetylene) that were used in the synthesis. The transformation above can be performed with some reagent or combination of the reagents listed below. Give the necessary reagent(s) in the correct order, as a string of letters (without spaces or punctuation, such as "EBF"). If there is more than one correct solution, provide just one answer.
