Question

Propose the synthesis of the following molecule from any organic solvents or reagent, given that acetylene is only source of carbon.

The image depicts a chemical reaction scheme.

**Left Part:**

- Three stacked lines (≡) represent a triple bond, suggesting the presence of an alkyne group, such as an acetylene (C≡C).
- There is a question mark ('?') beneath the alkyne, indicating uncertainty or the need to determine the conditions or reagents necessary for the reaction.

**Arrow:**

- A rightward-pointing arrow signifies the progression of the chemical reaction.

**Right Part:**

- The product is a molecular structure composed of:
  - A bromine atom (Br) attached to a three-carbon chain.
  - There is also an ether linkage, with an oxygen atom (O) connecting the third carbon atom to a two-carbon chain.
  
This image represents a reaction involving an alkyne and the formation of a bromo ether, which could involve transformations such as hydroboration-oxidation or the addition of a halogen.
