Basically what you want to do is,design a synthetic pathway for the molecule below. Keep in mind you can only have starting materials that have a maximum of 6 carbons. Your starting material can only have one functional group to begin with (i.e. a benzene ring, an alkyl halide, a carboxylic acid etc.) Some helpful suggestions: A retrosynthetic analysis may be helpful. But do keep in mind that the more steps you have in your process the less efficient the pathway will be. Come up with another pathway and contrast them. While doing so make sure to explain what potential problems can arise in the midst of the synthesis for your molecule Make sure to have proper arrow pushing shown from one compound to the next, you should be able to maneuver the atoms to get them to do what you want them to. Just focus on how the compound below can be achieved
