Anyway I have reference to generate MeI with KI and H2SO4/MeOH in 90% yield (Czech patent) or from iodine in AcOMe with Al and AcOH (65% calculated on Iodine).
I can dig up if someone want. (but I haven't the full text)
YES! YES! PLEASE, DO!!
If that Czech patent can bee found on EspaceNet, then....... Translation isn't a problem, AFAIK.
Pleasse, find those refs!!
