Different policies were created to solve this issue, and Carson refused to stop if one step didn’t work. After using 4 equivalents of LHMDS at-78C in THF and getting extremely low desired yield, Carson is quoted as saying ,“You’d have to be kind of stupid to look at that and not realize that that’s a failure and say we just didn’t do enough of it.” So he altered his experimental to get higher yield by using catalytic hydrogenation.
(600 mg), MeOH (5 mL) and H2O (15 mL) was maintained under 80 psi of H2 for 12 hours. 
(pre-washed with 20 mL of MeOH) and concentrated to give a yellow oil. 
(5 u Alltima reverse phase C18 silica column, 10:14:0.1 Ch3CN-H2O-TFA) to give 44mg(38%) of pure Molecule24 and 34 mg (30%) of an inseparable 10:1 mixture of Molecules 23 and 25, all colorless oils. H-NMR was taken for Molecules 23. Molecules 24 and 25 were byproducts of the hydrogenation reaction.
