Procedure

60 g of 2-bromo-4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde was dissolved in 600 ml of benzene, and 40 g of ethylene glycol and 6 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid were put in the solution. The mixture was heated under reflux for 18 hours while water was removed by using a Dean-Stark trap. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was made basic by adding ice and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate. The organic layer was washed with water and dried. The solvent was evaporated. The residue was distilled to give 60 g (yield 82%) of 2-bromo-4-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)pyridine.
