Hi, I'm attempting this synthesis using the methods we have learned so far: Organometallic, Acetylide Chemistry, as well as pericyclic reactions (cycloaddition, electrocyclic, sigmatropic, ene reactions).

I'd like to know a good general outline of how we would produce the product, mechanisms are not necessary. Thank you

It is a forum rule that we don't provide help unless the person first shows an attempt.  However, I can make a very general suggestion, which is that you work synthesis problems backwards, one step at a time.
