This is nice You may run into some problems at your first step, because it is a secondary carbon, but you could also use a Heck reaction with Pd(OAc)2, which is not basic, or an addition to acetone, which would actually leave a functional group in the right place. you just need to write up a description and reference any sources.

A condensation reaction into an nucleophile of aldehyde. The dimethyl pyridine reacts as a base in solvent Toluene. The NaOCH3 in Ch3OH is to restore at least one acid group. With the carboxylic acid, the //cis// isomer. Benzenethiol is the catalyst yeilds with DMF which is a polar solvent. The SOCL2 replaces the hydroxy from the carboxyllic acid with the Chlorine in order to prepare to react with the alkynalcohol Then you use fisher essterfiction.
