Explanation / Answer

First we protect the carbonyl functional group with reagent H to give the functional group thiol. Then we add reagent J to give the alkyne functional group via Sn2 mechanism. Reagent M will give the trans alkene via anti reduction. This alkene can react with reagent AG in CCl4 solvent to give the haloalkane with anti regioselectivity. Then finally the protecting group can be removed with reagent AE. If we wanted to return to the ketone instead of the alkane we could use reagent A to remove the protecting group.
