The goal is to synthesize 2-(tert-butyl)-1-ethoxy-3-nitrobenzene from benzene using a specific sequence of reactions. The correct sequence involves introducing a tert-butyl group, followed by sulfonation, nitration, and further transformations to achieve the final product. The selected sequence must maximize yield and efficiency while adhering to the constraints of the provided reagents."}
