Res. 315 (1999) 192-197 The synthesis consisted of acetylation of all the hydroxyl groups, elimination of the acetoxyl group β to the carbonyl group, catalytic hydrogenation of the C-C double bond formed by the elimination, cleavage of the remaining acetyl groups, and selective formation of the terminal acetonide

16. The hydrogenation was performed at 1 atm for 48 h (cf. 50 atm/12 h in Ref. 4).
