4. Design a synthesis of the following target molecule using molecules of two or less carbon atoms or a benzene ring as your source of carbon. You are not limited in your choice of reagents, solvents, catalysts (no matter the number of carbon atoms in them (i.e. you do not need to "make" THF to use THF as a solvent)), number of steps, or in how many times you use a two-carbon species or benzene as a "starting" point. Unless a particular stereochemistry is designated in the target molecule, you may ignore stereochemical considerations for its synthesis. The best solutions minimize side reactions and "guarantees" a single carbon-based product in each step when possible.
