Much respect for trying this but please don't taste an experimental compound ever again.
Fingers crossed it is the ester.

This is very interesting! I remember reading some papers in which dimethyl oxalate is used with a Ti catalyst and phenol to produce the target
compound. Might be another route to experiment with since dimethyl oxalate is so easy to prepare?

Second paper isn't working for me, it goes directly to the site front page. Can you attach it?
That was the method I was going to try, but I didn't know about the catalyst. I was also thinking about transesterification.

Sure thing, no clue why that happened...
