To a solution of 2 g of ethylpyridin-3-yl acetate in 40 ml of DMF were added 1.09 g of paraformaldehyde and 165 mg of sodium ethoxide, followed by stirring for 19 hours. Acetic acid was added thereto under ice-cooling and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 1.29 g of ethyl 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)propanoate.
