Syntax question

I have the below chunk of code. I keep getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /Users/app/plugins/controllers/controller.php

which is this line:
else ($coupons_sent <= 5) {

I cannot figure out what the error is for the life of me. any ideas?

if ($coupons_sent >= 5) {
			
				$this->render('back');
				return;
			
			}

			else ($sent <= 5) {
			
				$fetch_ids = $this->Coupon->find('list', array(
					'fields' => array('Coupon.sender_person_id'),
					'Coupon.event_id' => $this->event_id,
					'Coupon.person_id' => $person_id
				)
			));
			

				$fetch_emails = $this->Coupon->find('list', array(
					'fields' => array('People.email'),
					'People.id' => $fetch_ids
				)
			));
			

				$this->Session->write('sender_emails', $fetch_emails);
				$this->render('success_no_5');
			}		
		}
		
		$this->_response['data']['coupons_sent'] = !empty($coupons_sent) ? $coupons_sent : 0;
		
		if (!empty($this->data)) {
				$this->render('forward');
				return;
		}
		
	}
