synthic reaction scheme

a.  Outline a synthetic reaction scheme for the preparation of triphenylmethanol from:
1. Methyl benzoate
2.Diethyl carbonate
b. A large number of polycyclic benzenoid aromatic hydrocarbons are known.  One of these, benz/a/pyrene, is a powerful carcinogen found in tobacco smoke.  Draw the structure of this hydrocarbon.  Can you suggest other sources where this material might be expected to be present?
