Organic Synthesis

Hey Guys! I've just recently joined and I have to say this forum is amazing!! So many helpful people here! :smile:

I've attached a picture regarding my question as it is hard to structure it in text. Can somebody please assist me with this or show me how to do it? Thanks.

I had for C = LiAlH4 D = H2SO4 E = HCl
A = Alcohol and B = Alkene

I'm not sure if this is correct in any way but if somebody could perhaps draw the intermediates or something for me that would be of great help so I can see if what I did is correct as I'm not fully understanding this!

It seems weird to do it in three steps when you could do it in two?

I think your first and last steps are absolutely correct, aside from the fact that you would want to add HCl to the alcohol.

Hmm...
