An active and selective dual catalytic system to promote domino hydroformylation–reduction reactions is described. Apart from terminal, di- and trisubstituted olefins, for the first time the less active internal C?C double bond of tetrasubstituted alkenes can also be utilized. As an example, 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene is converted into the corresponding n-alcohol with high yield (90 %) as well as regio- and chemoselectivity (>97 %). Key for this development is the use of a combination of Rh complexes with bulky monophosphite ligands and the Ru-based Shvo's complex. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic alkenes can be directly used to obtain mainly linear alcohols.

The first synthesis of m-hydroxymexiletine (MHM) has been accomplished. MHM displayed hNav1.5 sodium channel blocking activity, and tests indicate it to be ~2-fold more potent than the parent mexiletine and to have more favorable toxicological properties than mexiletine. Thus, MHM and possible related prodrugs might be studied as agents for the treatment of arrhythmias, neuropathic pain, and myotonias in substitution of mexiletine (metabolite switch), which has turned out to be tainted with common toxicity.

A series of phenoxyalkyl and phenylthioalkyl amides were prepared as melatoninergic ligands. Modulation of affinity of the newly synthesized compound by applying SARs around the terminal amide moiety, the alkyl chain, and the methoxy group on the aromatic ring provides compounds with nanomolar affinity for both melatonin receptor subtypes. Affinity towards MT1 and MT2 receptors were modulated also exploiting chirality. The investigation of intrinsic activity revealed that all the tested compounds behave as full or partial agonists.
