27. It is noted that regioisomer 18' underwent the hydrogenation with slightly lower stereoselectivity and in lower yield. A side product was obtained that was derived from tetrahydropyran formation as well as the deacetonization/decarboxylation as shown below. (Figure Presented)

37. Other protecting groups that were tested but did not allow the final deprotection include: benzyl, 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, and 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl groups. This was presumably owing to the susceptibility of the epoxide and the tetramic acid moieties under hydrogenolytic, acidic (TFA), or oxidative (DDQ or cerium ammonium nitrate) conditions.
