Abstract

An efficient and scalable three-step one-pot approach to 6-methyl-5-nitroisoquinoline (1) from inexpensive 5-nitroisoquinoline, utilizing the vicarious nucleophilic substitution (VNS) as a key step, is described. The optimized reaction conditions can be applied to a limited number of other aromatic and heteroaromatic nitro compounds. Attempts to understand the observed selectivity in the VNS step led to the discovery of two new reaction pathways ...
