Related conversions involving pyridines and isoquinolines can also be achieved under similar conditions.Keywords: Acetic anhydrides; Chemical equations; Heterocycles; High yield; Isoquinolines; Microwave-assisted; Sodium iodides; Halogenation; Pyridine; Sodium; Microwave irradiation; acetic anhydride; heterocyclic compound; isoquinoline derivative; methyl bromide; meMicrowave-assisted trans -halogenation reactions of various chloro-, bromo-, trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy- and nonafluorobutanesulfonyloxy-substituted quinolines, isoquinolines, and pyridines leading to the corresponding iodinated heterocycles200910.1021/jo90083862016-02-24
