The molecularity is the number of molecules that collide during that step in the mechanism. If only a single reactant molecule in an elementary reaction, that step is designated as unimolecular; if there are two reactant molecules, it is bimolecular.144690-92-6. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., 144690-92-6
Trityl olmesartan medoxomil (250 g, 310 mmol) (97.3 % area) is dissolved in THF (1560 ml) and 48 % aqueous hydrobromic acid (70.6 ml, 625 mmol) is added slowly. The mixture is stirred for at 25 C. After 1 hour the precipitate forms. The mixture is stirred for 1 additional hour at 25 C, then cooled to -5 C and stirred for 1.5 hours at -5 C. The precipitate is filtered. 940 ml of THF is added to the precipitate and the mixture is stirred for 1 h at 25 C and then 1 hour at -5 C. Then precipitate is filtered off and washed with cold THF (150 ml). It is then dissolved in a mixture of water (875 ml) and acetone (440 ml). To a clear solution 5 % aqueous solution of NaHCO3 is added to raise pH to 5.15. The mixture is stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and 1 hour at 0 C. The precipitate is filtered, washed with water and then recrystallized from a mixture of acetonitrile (280 ml) and water (70 ml) to give 124.5 g of olmesartan medoxomil (99.68 % area)
Elementary reactions that involve the simultaneous collision of more than three molecules are highly improbable and have never been observed experimentally.
