A mixture of 4′-aminoacetophenone (1.45 g, 10.7 mmol), ethylene glycol (2.00 g, 32.2 mmol), and p-TsOH.H2O (2.45 g, 12.9 mmol) in toluene (30 mL) were heated to reflux under a Dean-Stark trap for 3.5 h. Basic work-up and purification gave 4-(2-methyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-phenylamine as colourless crystals (0.67 g, 35%).
