β¦ Synopsis
Side Reaction of the Condensation of 5-Acetoxy-3-chloropentanone-2 and Thioformamide in the Synthesis of Vitamin B 1 .
-It is shown for the first time that in the cyclocondensation of the title 3-chloropentanone (I) with thioformamide (II), a key step in the vitamin B 1 synthesis, besides the target thiazole (III) a "dithiazole" is formed. The reaction goes via a 3-(iminomethylthio)pentanone-2 intermediate which undergoes intra-or intermolecular cyclization to give the thiazole (III) and its dimer (IV), respectively.
