A solution of 3 g of 6-hydroxymethylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (16.5 mmol) in 70 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane containing 15 g of manganese dioxide (165 mmol) is heated under reflux for 4 hours with removal of the water formed continuously. The solid is removed by filtration on celite and then the dichloromethane is evaporated off.
