Procedure

Glycolic acid (5.0 g, 66 mmol) in pyridine (65 ml) was purged with argon and then treated with tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (42 g, 36 ml, 158 mmol) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours. The 2-phase mixture was separated and the upper phase diluted with diethyl ether. This solution was cooled to 0° C., washed briefly with 10% hydrochloric acid, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to the disilyl material (18 g, 97%). The disilyl material (3.48 g, 12.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (30 ml) at 0° C. was treated with DMF (6 drops) followed by oxalyl chloride (1.84 g, 1.30 ml, 14.50 mmol). After stirring for 3.5 hours, the solution was evaporated and the crude material purified by bulb-to-bulb distillation to afford the title product (60 mbar, 120° C.<T<150° C.) (0.95 g, 37%) contaminated with tert-butyldimethylsiloxane.
