Solution.

I think that B1 is the vital point to live. After this, white has a couple of choices.

[Diagram]

Solution. (W5 at circled point)

If white tries to break out with W1, black can simply kill them with B2 and B4.

[Diagram]

Solution.

If white tries W1, black plays this way, and ends with a live shape.

[Diagram]

Solution.

And finally, White is too short on liberties to be able to play W1. After B4, white's stones are again dead.

[Diagram]

Failure.

If B1 here, then W2 kills. Black cannot play at a due to shortage of liberties.
