Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromobenzaldehyde (102 g, 0.55 mol) and ethylene glycol (100 g, 1.65 mol) in benzene (1 l) were added a small amount of 10-camphorsulfonic acid, and the mixture was refluxed for 3 hours, while water was removed with Dean-Stark. After allowing to cool, saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled to give the title compound (126 g, 0.55 mol, 100%).
