(5R,6S)-6-Acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide is a pheromone that attracts certain disease-carrying mosquitoes to sites where they like to lay their eggs. Such compounds might be used to lure these insects away from populated areas to locations where they can be destroyed. The last two steps in a recent synthesis of this compound are shown below. Provide reagents that would accomplish these transformations.
