In A Word About . . . The Gypsy Moth's Epoxide, the structure of this moth's sex

Question:

In "A Word About . . . The Gypsy Moth's Epoxide," the structure of this moth's sex attractant, disparlure (page 245), was shown. Using a multistep synthetic sequence including a catalytic hydrogenation with Lindlar's catalyst and a subsequent epoxidation with a peroxy acid, suggest a synthesis of racemic disparlure, starting from the alkyne, (CH3)2CH(CH2)4C≡≡CH, and the alkyl bromide, CH3(CH2)8CH2Br.
