Procedure

A mixture of 2-bromo-5-hydroxybenzaldehyde (60.0 g, 299 mmol), ethylene glycol (56 mL, 1.00 mol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid (1.14 g, 5.98 mmol) in toluene (450 mL) was refluxed with Dean-Stark head for overnight. Potassium carbonate (3 g) was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 4-bromo-3-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenol (66.1 g, 90%).
