Procedure
Oxalyl chloride (30 μL, 0.35 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-(1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)acetic acid (100 mg, 0.29 mmol) in 2 mL of dry CH2Cl2 under argon. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent was evaporated and the crude product was washed with dry hexane (3×1 mL) and dried in vacuo to give the title compound in 95% yield (100 mg).
