A convenient procedure for conducting small-scale carbonylations of aryl or benzyl halides in a microwave reactor by using quinolin-8-yl formate is described. The resulting 8-acyloxyquinolines were shown to be more reactive than phenyl esters in acyl-transfer reactions, and their utility for the production of esters and amides was demonstrated.

喹啉-8-基甲酸酯：微波反应器中小规模羰基化反应的新选择

描述了在微波反应器中通过使用甲酸喹啉-8-基酯进行芳基或苄基卤的小规模羰基化的方便程序。所得的 8-酰氧基喹啉在酰基转移反应中比苯基酯更具反应性，并且证明了它们在酯和酰胺生产中的效用。
