Reported found in peanuts, toasted oats, malt, peach, pork, coffee, krill, shrimp and scallops
4,5-Dimethylthiazole was used in the preparation of 4-(bromomethyl)-5-(dibromomethyl)thiazole.
ChEBI: 4,5-Dimethylthiazole is a member of thiazoles.
From methyl-α-bromoethyl ketone; by oxidation of 2-mercaptothiazoles with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution;
from 2-mercapto-4,5-dimethylthiazole.
Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: fishy, amine and pyridine-like with shrimp and savory nuances
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.
