A solution of 5-chlorosulfonyl-2-ethoxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (13 g, 44 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran was cooled to 5° C. and treated with excess diazomethane in ether solution (prepared from N-methyl-N-nitroso-p-toluenesulfonamide, Aldrich) and stirred for 10 min. Solvent and excess diazomethane was removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and filtered through a plug of silica gel and evaporated. The solids were triturated with ether/hexane to give 13 g of 5-chlorosulfonyl-2-ethoxy-4-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester as a colorless solid.
