2-isopropylthiazole-5-carbaldehyde; CAS No.: 207675-84-1; 2-isopropylthiazole-5-carbaldehyde. PROPERTIES: 2-Isopropylthiazole-5-carbaldehyde presents as a pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor detectable at low concentrations. The compound demonstrates typical electrophilic reactivity of aldehydes and shows good solubility in ether and ester solvents. It is sensitive to atmospheric moisture undergoing slow hydrolysis. Recommended storage involves keeping tightly sealed under a nitrogen atmosphere at temperatures below 10 C. Safety data indicates flammability hazard requiring ՠT ignition sources and p [ S S as per NFPA recommendations for reactive organic compounds. APPLICATIONS: 2-Isopropylthiazole-5-carbaldehyde serves as an intermediate in the preparation of thiazole-based agrochemicals though this application is excluded, instead highlighting its role in fragrance chemistry as novel odorants documented in flavor and fragrance research. Its carbonyl functionality enables formation of Schiff bases useful in coordination polymers reported in crystal engineering literature. Furthermore, the compound contributes to synthesis of HIV protease inhibitors described in antiviral chemistry publications.
