Expert Solution
Step 1

For the above organic synthesis, the following transformations must be known:

1. Hin presence of Lindlar's catalyst reduces alkyne to cis-alkene.

2. p-Toluenesulfonic acid reacts with 3o alcohol to form tosylate and elimination occurs.

3. H, Pd/C reduces alkenes to alkanes.

4. Oppenauer Oxidation is a simple method for selectively oxidizing 2o acohols to ketones.
