You're building carbon skeleton by adding one extra carbon. You should therefore look into carbon-elongation reactions. I immediately think a simple Grignard with some functional group transformations should do the trick.

Miss Science,  :D

Interesting question - try Arndt-Eisert homologation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arndt%E2%80%93Eistert_reaction
