Procedure

A solution of 1-[[3-chloro-4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoyl]oxy]-2,5-pyrrolidinedione (Example 5; 2.00 g, 6.4 mmol), 3,5-dimethoxybenzylamine (1.25 g, 7.5 mmol) and triethylamine (1.00 g, 9.9 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated (<0.5 mm Hg, 40° C.), ethyl acetate (200 mL) was added, and the solution was allowed to stand over the weekend at room temperature. The white solid was filtered off and discarded. Silica gel was added, the solvent was evaporated and the residue was chromatographed (30-50% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give 2-chloro-4-[[[(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl]amino]carbonyl]benzoic acid, methyl ester (1.69 g, 72%) as a white solid, mp 101-103° C.
