I'm wondering what precursors are used, and what reactions are needed, in order to synthesize ethyl 3-oxo-4-phenylbutanoate.

Ive put it into chat gpt, and I know it is wrong, but it says a claisen condensation of acetophenone with ethyl acetate. Other search results have said a claisen condensation with ethyl phenylacetate and ethyl acetate.

I would just like to know how to synthesize this product.

It seems like bromobenzene reacts with ethyl acetoacetate to form this, but I just want to double check.
