37830-90-3, 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.37830-90-3. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.
[01658] A solution of 4,5-dimethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene (1 mmole) and selenium dioxide (2.5 mmole) in dioxane was heated at reflux for 1 h. Evaporation, extraction and chromatography gave 5-methyl-4-hydroxymethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene as a yellow oil. TLC: RPf=0.5, 5percent MeOH-dichloromethane. [01659] A solution of 5-methyl-4-hydroxymethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene (1 mmole) in DMF was treated with tert-butyldimethylsilane (1.2 mmole) and imidazole (2.2 mmole) at 25 C. for 24 h. Extraction and chromatography gave 5-methyl-4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene. [01660] A solution of 5-methyl-4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene (1 mmole) and Lawesson’s reagent (1.2 mmole) in toluene was heated to 120 C. for 12 h. Extraction and chromatography gave 5-methyl-4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-2-thio-1,3-dioxolene. [01661] A solution of 5-methyl-4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl-2-thio-1,3-dioxolene in methanolic hydrogen chloride was stirred at 0 C. for 1 h and 25 C. for 12 h. Extraction and chromatography gave 5-methyl-4-hydroxymethyl-2-thio-1,3-dioxolene.
There are, however, a few established termolecular elementary reactions. The reaction of nitric oxide with oxygen appears to involve termolecular steps.
