4. One of the fungicides used in ornamental plants, trees, tomatoes and others is called fenarimol, which acts by inhibiting the synthesis of steroids in fungi. The synthesis of this fungicide starts from the reaction of a diaryl ketone with an organolithium derived from an exchange of the halogenate for the metal. Propose the synthesis starting from the halogenated precursor. (Do not forget to make the reaction mechanism in the formation of fenarimol)
