Many insects utilize cyclic ketal structures
as pheromones such as the structure
shown below. The biosynthetic pathway
involves the cyclization of this acetal from
the straight chain structure.Draw the
straight chain structure that could be
used to form this acetal. Use wedges and
dashes to correctly depict the
stereochemistry.
