An excess solution of diazomethane in ether was added to an ice-cooled and stirred solution of m-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid (8.0 g, 42.1 mmol) in 50 ml of ether. After concentration, the residue was distilled under reduced pressure to give a colorless transparent oil of methyl m-trifluoromethylbenzoate (8.4 g, 41.2 mmol, yield 97.8%, b.p. 76°-78° C./12 mmHg), which was assigned the structure by the following data:

1. temperaturecooled
2. concentrationAfter concentration
3. distillationthe residue was distilled under reduced pressure
