Question

Propose a synthesis of the cyclic five-membered target molecule shown below using propanal A as you only starting material. You may use any reagents of your choosing, but all of the carbon atoms in the
final product MUST come from propanal A. Show all intermediates and reagents for each transformation (do not worry about the solvents). Hint: by counting the number of carbon in the product, we would need three molecules of propanal A.
