How could you synthesize this ether using an alkoxymercuration/demercuration reaction? 
Alkoxymercuration
A chemical reaction that introduces an alkoxy group into an alkene to form an ether, typically involving mercury (II) acetate.
Demercuration
A chemical reaction process that removes mercury from an organomercury compound, often used in the context of reductive reactions and organic synthesis cleanup.
Synthesize
