Procedure

To a suspension of 4-methoxy-5-benzyloxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid (10.0 g, 33.3 mmol) in anhydrous THF (100 mL) was added oxalyl chloride (4.90 mL, 56.2 mmol) followed by one drop of anhydrous DMF. The mixture was stirred at RT for 16 h, upon which the mixture was poured into water (300 mL) and ammonium hydroxide (50 mL). A solid was separated out, which was collected by filtration and dried under vacuo. The solid was taken up in refluxing methanol (500 mL) and the insoluble solid was collected via filtration and dried under vacuum to give 4-methoxy-5-benzyloxy-2-nitrobenzamide (6.50 g, 21.5 mmol, 65%). HPLC retention time 6.154 min.
