2-Nitroimidazole was subjected to trimethylsilylation by use of hexamethyldisilazane in acetonitrile, and the resultant compound and 2-acetoxymethoxy-1,3-diacetoxypropane were subjected to condensation by use of stannic chloride serving as a catalyst. The resultant product was deprotected by use of methanolic ammonia, to thereby obtain 1-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl-2-nitroimidazole. The thus-obtained 1-[2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethoxy]methyl-2-nitroimidazole (0.5 g) was refluxed for two hours together with dibutyl tin oxide (0.6 g) in anhydrous toluene in the presence of molecular sieves having a pore size of 4 Å. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and anhydrous methylene chloride (16 mL) and anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) were added to the residue. The resultant mixture was cooled to 0° C., and acetyl chloride (171 mg) was added to the mixture, and then the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. To the resultant reaction mixture, a sodium phosphate buffer having a pH of 7.1 (10 mL) was added, and the resultant mixture was subjected to filtration. The resultant residue was subjected to extraction with chloroform (10 mL×3), and the thus-obtained extract was mixed with the filtrate, and the mixture was separated, thereby obtaining an organic layer. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, and then fractionated and purified through silica gel chromatography, to thereby yield the title compound, 1-[1-acetoxymethyl-2-(hydroxy)ethoxy]methyl-2-nitroimidazole (265 mg).
