General description

4-Methyl-5-vinylthiazole is a sulfur-containing volatile compound identified in garlic, pork and mature whiskey. It is also present in the floral scent of a few species of genus Annonaceae and Araceae, where they play a major role in attracting the scarab beetle pollinators.

Application

  • Safety and efficacy of the feed additive 4-methyl-5-vinylthiazole [15.018] belonging to chemical group 29 for all animal species (FEFANA asbl): This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of 4-Methyl-5-vinylthiazole as a feed additive, showcasing its applications in veterinary nutrition and its potential as a chemical intermediate in various industrial applications (EFSA Panel, 2023).

  • Study on the influences of two thiazole flavor ingredients on Cu corrosion caused by chloride ion: This paper explores the effects of thiazole compounds, including 4-Methyl-5-vinylthiazole, on metal corrosion, providing insight into its potential uses in materials science and its role as an organic synthesis intermediate in creating corrosion inhibitors (Mo et al., 2017).

Cyclocephaline scarabs are specialised scent-driven pollinators, implicated with the reproductive success of several Neotropical plant taxa. Night-blooming flowers pollinated by these beetles are thermogenic and release intense fragrances synchronized to pollinator activity. However, data on floral scent composition within such
