4-Methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (1 g, 4.90 mmol, commercially available from e.g. Fluorochem or ABCR) in dichloromethane (DCM) (40 mL) was cooled to 0° C., before oxalyl chloride (0.472 mL, 5.39 mmol) and a few drops of DMF (cat.) were added. The solution was then stirred under argon for 3 hours. The solvent was then evaporated in vacuo and the remaining residue was azeotroped with toluene (2×20 mL) to yield the product in 1.051 g.
