Applications & Uses

Occurrence

2-Acetylthiazole is naturally found in raw asparagus, cooked asparagus, kohlrabi, cooked or boiled potatoes, turkey (roasted), raw chicken, boiled and cooked beef, grilled and roasted beef, pork liver, beer, Finnish whiskey, heated beans, other varieties of mushroom, rice bran, maize, and other natural sources.

Uses

2-Acetylthiazole can be used as a flavoring agent in food industries. It may be used as a food additive in the preparation of ′fragrant′ rice. It also was used in the preparation of triazolothiazoles, chiral alcohols and in aldol condensation reactions.

General Description

2-Acetylthiazole is a volatile flavoring substance generally formed by the Maillard reaction between an amino acid and carbonyl compounds. It is reported to occur in canned sweet corn products, cooked pine mushroom, cooked asparagus and roasted beef.

Preparation & Synthesis

Preparation

2-Acetylthiazole is formed by oxidation of the corresponding carbinol using dichromate.
