You could maybe try weakly reducing ethanoic acid?

I might try the ethylene glycol method, any ideas how to purify it from anything else produced?

I have an old bottle that claims to be acetaldehyde from Aldrich Chemicals its 20 years old. It is not especially volatile so I suspect hat it has
polymerised, presumably to paraldehyde. In one thread, this one I think, Weolen states that paraldehyde is easily depolymerised. Does anyone know how
or have a ref to a procedure. I have a cold trap and access to dry ice so its distillation is not a big issue. Von Richter's Chemistry of Organic
compounds makes the same claim but without reference or details.

I wonder why someone here don’t try vinyl acetate route?
Just add a few drops of sulfuric acid on vinyl acetate and then reflux solution.that is really simple and high yield method.
Vinyl acetate will be made from acetylene and acetic acid+ mercury salt.
