A new palladium catalyst was found to exhibit high catalytic activity for carbonylation of olefins and alcohols. cyclo-Bis(μ-carbonyl)dipalladium(I) cation (1) with bridging CO ligands is formed by reductive carbonylation of palladium sulfate, PdSO4, in concentrated H2SO4. When an olefin or alcohol is added, complex 1 changes to a new complex (2) with terminal CO ligands, and tertiary carboxylic acids are obtained in high yields at room temperature and atmospheric pressure of CO. IR and 13C NMR studies suggest that complex 2 may be tentatively formulated to be [Pd2(CO)2]2+, in which the terminal CO ligands are chemically equivalent. Complex 1 is a catalyst precursor, and complex 2 functions as an active species for the carbonylation of olefins and alcohols. The catalytic behavior of the palladium carbonyl catalyst supports the recently proposed reaction mechanism involving an olefin-metal-CO complex as an intermediate for the catalytic carbonylation of olefins and alcohols in strongly acidic solution.

A series of fatty acid anilides was prepared, and compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit the enzyme acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) in vitro and to lower plasma total cholesterol and elevate high- density lipoprotein cholesterol in cholesterol-fed rats in vivo. The compounds reported were found to fall into two subclasses with different anilide SAR. For nonbranched acyl analogues, inhibitory potency was found to be optimal with bulky 2,6-dialkyl substitution. For α-substituted acyl analogues, there was little dependence of in vitro potency on anilide substitution and 2,4,6-trimethoxy was uniquely preferred. Most of the potent inhibitors (IC50 50 nM) were found to produce significant reductions in plasma total cholesterol in cholesterol-fed rats. Additionally, in vivo activity could be improved significantly by the introduction of α,α- disubstitution into the fatty acid portion of the molecule. A narrow group of α,α-disubstituted trimethoxyanilides, exemplified by 2,2-dimethyl-N-(2,4,6- trimethoxyphenyl)dodecanamide (39), was found to not only lower plasma total cholesterol (-60%) in cholesterol-fed rats but also elevate levels of high- density lipoprotein cholesterol (+94%) in this model at the screening dose of 0.05% in the diet (ca. 50 mg/kg).
