Procedure

To a suspension of 9.6 g (63.6 mmol) of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde (Aldrich Chemical Co.) in 100 mL of CH2Cl2 at 0° C. was added excess trimethylsilyldiazomethane and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at 0° C. for 1 h. The mixture was poured into saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give 4.3 g of the ester 167 as an oil. 1H NMR consistent with the product.
