Procedure
37.4 g (226 mmol) of ethyl pyridin-3-ylacetate in 100 g (679 mmol) of dimethylformamide diethyl acetal are heated at 100° C. overnight. After cooling, the mixture is concentrated and the residue is initially pre-purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase: gradient cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 1:1 ethyl acetate/ethanol 9:1). The product obtained in this manner is then subjected to fine purification by distillation under reduced pressure (1 mbar, bath temperature 200° C.).
