2,4,5-Trimethyl-2,5-dihydrothiazole

Basic information

Molecular formula: C₆H₁₁NS

Molecular weight: 129.22

Structural features: The molecule contains a thiazole ring (a five-membered heterocyclic ring containing sulfur and nitrogen), with double-bonded methylene groups at positions 2 and 5 (forming a 2,5-dihydrogen structure), and methyl groups are substituted at positions 2, 4, and 5, respectively. The overall structure has certain unsaturation and polarity.

Physical and chemical properties

Appearance: Referring to thiazole derivatives with similar structures, it is speculated that it may be a colorless to light yellow liquid or a low melting point solid (due to multiple methyl substitutions, the molecular weight is small and it may be liquid).

Solubility: The molecule contains a polar thiazole ring (sulfur and nitrogen atoms) and a hydrophobic methyl group. It is expected to be soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform, and slightly soluble in water.

Stability: Contains unsaturated double bonds and heterocyclic structures, and may be sensitive to strong oxidants, strong acids or strong bases. Long-term storage should avoid exposure to extreme conditions to prevent oxidation, ring opening and other reactions.
