Select the steps that will drive you through the synthesis (more than one).
I thought about a hydrolysis first to get to an amide. Then we would also need D in order to add the right alkyl part, but cannot figure the whole sequence.
In the first step, the cyanide on complete hydrolysis
produces carboxylic acid as the product which on reaction with
SOCl2 produces acid chloride. The formed acid chloride on treatment
with triethyl amine (base) and amine gives the amide as the
product.
