Preparation of 2-Ethanol pyridine: it is prepared by addition reaction of 2-picoline with formaldehyde. The reaction mixture is stirred and heated to 125 °C for 20 hours with reaction pressure of 0.4 MPa when nitrogen has passed into reactor. At last, product is obtained by collecting fraction at 130-145 °C (2.13 kPa).

Uses of 2-Ethanol pyridine: it is used to produce methanesulfonic acid 2-pyridin-2-yl-ethyl ester by reaction with methanesulfonyl chloride. The reaction occurs with reagent NEt₃ and solvent CH₂Cl₂ for 15 minutes. The yield is about 96.3%.
