Procedure

4-(4-Nitrobenzyl)-benzoic acid (1.03 g, 4 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (40 mL). Oxalyl chloride (0.42 mL, 1.2 eq) was added to the mixture, followed by 1 drop of N,N-dimethylformamide. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and the solvents evaporated to give 4-(4-chlorocarbonylbenzyl)-nitrobenzene (1.10 g) as a pale yellow solid.
