To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-hydroxy-2-(2-pyridyl)acetate (0.5 g, 2.56 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL) was added 2.0 M NaOH in water (1.4 mL, 2.8 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 h. TLC analysis indicated complete consumption of starting ester. 6.0 M HCl in water (0.46 mL, 2.8 mmol) was added and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the resulting solid was dried in vacuo for 18 h to give 2-hydroxy-2-(2-pyridyl)acetic acid as a mixture with sodium chloride.
