Procedure

Combined 2-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)acetic acid (1 g, 4.67 mmol) in DCM (15 mL) and MeOH (5 mL) and slowly added TMS-diazomethane (2 M in hexanes) (3.50 mL, 7.00 mmol) and the solution was stirred at 20° C. for 3 h. The reaction was quenched with acetic acid (0.134 mL, 2.334 mmol), let stir for 15 min, then concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound which was used without further purification. MS m/z 229 [M+H]+.
