General description

4-Methylthiazole forms complexes with cobalt(II), zinc(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) halides.

Application

4-Methylthiazole was used in the synthesis of catalytic dendrophanes, as functional mimics of the thiamine-diphosphate-dependent enzyme pyruvate oxidase. It was used in small scale preparation of 3-butyl-4-methylthiazolium bromide.

A new series of 3-aryl-2-(2-aryl/benzyl-4-methylthiazole-5-yl)thiazolidin-4-one was synthesized by condensation of 2-aryl/benzyl-4-methylthiazole-5-carbaldehyde, aromatic amines and thioglycolic acid in toluene. All the synthesized compounds are characterized by IR, NMR and elemental or mass analysis. Sixteen out of the newly synthesized compounds were
