Question

Aside from the specified main starting material, only the following compounds can be used as sources of the carbon backbone for the target compound:

acetaldehyde	ethanol	propanoic acid
acetic acid	ethyl bromoacetate	propan-1-ol
benzene	(2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-diene	propan-2-ol
buta-1,3-diene	methanol	propan-2-one (acetone)
(chloromethyl)benzene (benzyl chloride)	5-methyloxolan-2-one	sodium cyanide
1-(chloromethyl)-4-methylbenzene	phenylacetaldehyde	sodium methoxide
diethyl propanedioate (diethyl malonate)	piperidine	sodium ethoxide

There are no restrictions with regards to the use of other reagents such as catalysts, solvents, redox agents, protection/deprotection agents, etc. as long as they will not be used as sources of carbon for the skeleton of the target compound.
Design a retrosynthetic map and from it, propose a multi-step synthetic approach for the preparation of the target compound from the specified starting material.
Write both the retrosynthesis and synthesis plan with brief explanation
