Fill in the blanks with the single letter code of the appropriate reagent, or the appropriate descriptive vocabulary word/phrase to complete the description. Remember the computer is very literal so check your spelling carefully.

Explanation / Answer

First we add B reagent followed by 2 equivalents of reagent S followed by I workup to give the functional group alkyne. Then we add reagent S followed by AH and F workup to give the (functional group) alkene with E stereoselectivity. Lastly reagent T will give the final product with E stereoselectivity.
