A flow chemistry process for the Oppenauer oxidation of benzylic secondary alcohols using partially hydrated zirconium oxide and a simple carbonyl containing oxidant such as acetone, cyclohexanone, and neopentanal is reported. The heterogeneous oxidative system could be applied to a wide range of functionalized alcohol substrates, allowing clean and fast delivery of ketone products within a few minutes between 40 and 100 °C.

In December 1985, amiodarone was approved by the FDA for the treatment of arrhythmias.[6] This makes amiodarone one of the few drugs approved by the FDA without rigorous randomized clinical trials.
Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic agent used for various types of cardiac dysrhythmias, both ventricular and atrial. It was discovered in 1961. Despite relatively common side-effects, it is used in arrhythmias that are otherwise difficult to treat with medication.



A more recent synthesis of amiodarone reports the cyclisation of α-phenoxyhexanal 389 under acidic conditions to yield the substituted benzofuran390 (Scheme 76). A Friedel–Crafts acylation next introduces the aryl ring at the 3-position. Demethylation, iodination and a final alkylation with a diethylaminoethane fragment yields amiodarone [115-117].
