3. SYNTHESIS. Propose a sequence of synthetic steps (FGI) that convert the starting
material (SM) into the Target molecule. For each FGI in your proposed synthesis,
specify the reagents / conditions, and draw the product(s) of that FGI. DO NOT
INCLUDE the FGI mxn in the answer you submit. If an FGI requires two reagent
sets, specify the order in which the reagent sets are added, e.g., i) Hg(OAc)2 / H₂O;
ii) NaBH4/MeOH. Indicate the stereochemistry (if any) of the products of each FGI.
