Procedure

Combine 2-methoxy-5-trifluoromethoxybenzoic acid (0.6 g, 2.53 mmol) and dichloromethane (10 mL). Cool in an ice bath. Add dropwise oxalyl chloride (0.64 mL, 5.0 mmol) followed by dimethylformamide (1 drop). Warm to ambient temperature. After 3 hours, evaporate in vacuo and dry to give the title compound.
