Methyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypropionate was found to decompose, in a static system, mainly to methyl isobutyrate and formaldehyde. The reaction rates were affected in packed and unpacked clean Pyrex vessels, demonstrating little but significant surface effect. However, in vessels seasoned with allyl
