The hydration of terminal olefins to secondary alcohols has been achieved using a Pd(ii)/Ru(ii) catalyst combination with high regioselectivity and yields. Both vinyl arenes and aliphatic olefins can be hydrated easily with the tandem catalyst system using a low catalyst loading of 1 mol%. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2014.

A series of ibutilide analogues with fluorine substituents on the heptyl side chain was prepared and evaluated for class III antiarrhythmic activity, metabolic stability, and proarrhythmic potential. It was found that fluorine substituents stabilized the side chain to metabolic oxidation. Many of the compounds also retained the ability to increase the refractoriness of cardiac tissue at both slow and fast pacing rates. The potential for producing polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in the rabbit model was dependent on the chirality of the benzylic carbon. The S-enantiomers generally had less proarrhythmic activity than the corresponding racemates. One compound from this series (45E, trecetilide fumarate) had excellent antiarrhythmic activity and metabolic stability and was devoid of proarrhythmic activity in the rabbit model. It was chosen for further development.

A catalytic system consisting of sodium tungstate and methyltrioctylammonium hydrogensulfate effects oxidation of simple secondary alcohols to ketones using 3 - 30% H2O2 without any organic solvents. The oxidation can be conducted under entirely halide-free, mildly acidic conditions. A combination of tungstic acid and an appropriate quaternary ammonium salt also effects the alcohol dehydrogenation. The organic/aqueous biphasic reaction allows easy product/catalyst separation. The turnover number, defined as tools of product per mol of catalyst, approaches 77700 (2- octanol) or 179000 (1-phenylethanol), two orders of magnitude higher than any previously reported. Ester, alkyl and t-butyldimethylsilyl ether, epoxy, carbonyl, N-alkyl carboxamide, and nitrile groups are tolerated under the reaction conditions. Secondary alcohols are preferentially oxidized over terminal olefins. Primary alkanols are oxidized directly to carboxylic acids in a moderate to high yield. Benzylic alcohols are selectively oxidized to benzaldehydes or benzoic acids under suitable conditions. This method is high-yielding, clean, safe, operationally simple, and cost-effective, and therefore suitable for practical organic synthesis. The mechanistic origin of the catalytic efficiency is discussed.
