Propose a sequence of reactions to synthesize the target compound below from the indicated starting material. You may use any other organic and/or inorganic reagents necessary to complete your synthesis, but all carbon atoms in the target must be derived from the starting material specified. It is only necessary to give overall transformations in answering this question. Please DO NOT provide curved arrow mechanjsms for the reactions that you use. OH Prepare from as the source of all C atoms in the target Acetophenone (TARGET) 2-Phenylethanol (STARTING MATERIAL)
