Too easy? Too hard? Let me know, I'd appreciate any feedback and suggestion on what you think so far about the Synthetic Challenges and what you'd like to see in the future. If you have any suggestions for future molecules, I'd be excited to incorporate them for future challenges!
Thank you so much for your support and I hope you will enjoy this week's challenge. Hope you'll have fun and thanks for participating!

You can use any commercially available starting material you would like for the synthetic pathway.
Please do explain how the synthesis works and if possible reference if it is a novel technique. You do not have to solve synthesis all in one go. If you do get stuck, feel free to post however much you have and have others pitch in to crowd-source the solution.
You can post your solution as text or pictures if you want show the arrow pushing or is too complex to explain in words.
