Reaction Steps

2-Ethyl-3-pivaloyloxy-1-(2-pivaloyloxyethyl)pyridin-4-one (0.5 g) was heated in distilled water (40 ml) at 70° C. for 3 hours. The water was removed by rotary evaporation and the residue dried under high vacuum. Recrystallization of the dry solid from ethyl acetate and petroleum ether (b.p. 40°-600° C.) gave the title compound (0.3 g, 69%) as colourless crystals with a melting point and infra-red and n.m.r. spectra as quoted in Example 2.
