Applications & Uses

Uses

2-Amino-5-methylthiazole may be used in the preparation of acrylamide monomer, 5-methyl-2-thiozyl methacrylamide (MTMAAm).

Uses

An aminothiazole derivative used in characterization and DNA-interaction studies via formation of metal complexes that bind competitively to DNA. 2-Amino-5-methylthiazole can be used in solar cells to influence the interaction with the TiO2 photoelectrode, which in turn alters the dye-sensitized solar cell performance.

General Description

2-Amino-5-methylthiazole is a heterocyclic building block. It is one of the major alkaline metabolite of tenoxicam (TX) and meloxicam (MX).

Preparation & Synthesis

Preparation

Using 1,2,3-trichloropropane as a starting material, it reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce 2,3-dichloro-1-propene, which then reacts with potassium thiocyanate and isomerizes to produce 2-chloro-2-propenyl isothiocyanate. This is then reacted with ammonia to give N-(2-chloro-2-propenyl)thiourea, which is subsequently cyclized in the presence of 80% sulfuric acid to give 2-amino-5-methylthiazole.
