We have found that complete reduction, with 10% palladium on carbon, proceeds in about 18 hours at ambient temperature. We evaluated the usual catalysts (Pt., Ru, Ni, etc.) and found minimal activity. CAUTION: in the case of activated Raney nickel (J. Org. Chem., Volume 26, 1961, page 1625) rapid decomposition of the ascorbic acid occurred, resulting in rapid pressure build-up leading to explosion of the Parr flask!
