Procedure

33.03 g (200 mmol) of 4-nitroacetophenone, 12.30 mL (220 mmol) of ethylene glycol, and 1.00 g (5 mmol) of p-toluenesulfonic acid are placed in 250 mL of toluene, then refluxed for 16 hours using the water separator. Then the reaction mixture is cooled and extracted with water. The organic phase is dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue is extracted with diisopropyl ether and suction filtered. Yield: 34.45 g (82%).
