 |  | 4,5-Dimethylthiazole Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | 4,5-Dimethylthiazole is a colorless to light yellow liquid that has a roasted nutty, meaty, boiled poultry-like odor. |  | Occurrence | Reported found in peanuts, toasted oats, malt, peach, pork, coffee, krill, shrimp and scallops |  | Uses | 4,5-Dimethylthiazole was used in the preparation of 4-(bromomethyl)-5-(dibromomethyl)thiazole. |  | Preparation | From methyl-α-bromoethyl ketone; by oxidation of 2-mercaptothiazoles with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution;
from 2-mercapto-4,5-dimethylthiazole. |  | Definition | ChEBI: 4,5-Dimethylthiazole is a member of thiazoles. |  | Aroma threshold values | Detection: 470 ppb |  | Taste threshold values | Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: fishy, amine and pyridine-like with shrimp and savory nuances |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 6, p. 764, 1941 DOI: 10.1021/jo01205a011 |  | General Description | 4,5-Dimethylthiazole is a thiazoles compounds that containing a thiazole ring substituted at positions 4 and 5 only. Radical bromination of 4,5-dimethylthiazole using N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile yields mono-, tri- and tetrabromo compounds. |
