An efficient synthesis for the given transformation has to be predicted. The given reaction is shown as, Concept Introduction: Deactivators are electron withdrawing groups attached to the benzenes that have either positive charge or an atom with high electronegativity. They are meta directors. Activators are electron donating groups attached to the benzenes that have either electron density that is able to push into benzene ring or a lone pair of electrons. They are ortho-para directing. Halogens are deactivators that are ortho-para directing. In a reaction, fuming sulfuric acid is used to introduce sulfonic groups in a compound (sulfonation) or sometimes used as blocking groups. Chlorination: A reaction in which a chlorine atom is introduced to the compound. In a reaction, sulfonic acid group can be removed from a compound by treating it with dilute sulfuric acid (desulfonation). Friedel-Crafts Alkylation: This Lewis acid-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic replacement that allows the synthesis of alkylated products by means of the reaction of arenes through alkyl halides or alkenes.

The synthesis shown above can be accomplished in three steps. Select the reagents for each step from the dropdown lists below.

Synthesis: make the following compounds from given materials (on the left) and any other reagents that you need.

Propose a multi-step synthesis of the target molecule shown at the right, using the starting materials on the left and any other reagents you need. Show the reagents needed for each step and the product of each step. You will need 4 reaction arrows. Remember: Aldehyde + terminal alkyne anion in acid = alcohol
