Reaction Steps

Mixture of tert-butyl 2-((4R,6S)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate (200 grams), sodium hydroxide (62 grams) in tetrahydrofuran (400 ml) was heated to reflux temperature and stirred up to completion of the reaction. The solvent from the reaction mixture was distilled off completely under reduced pressure at below 70° C. to get the title compound.
