2-Aminothiazole
1. Basic Information
Name: 2-Aminothiazole
Alias: 2-Thiazolamine
CAS No.: 96-50-4
Molecular Formula: C3H4N2S
Molecular Weight: 100.14
Category: Sulfur-nitrogen heterocyclic pharmaceutical intermediate, pesticide raw material, dyestuff intermediate, analytical reagent
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White to pale yellow crystalline powder
- Odor: Slight heterocyclic amine odor
- Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, acetone; slightly soluble in ether; insoluble in benzene, aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: 90–93 °C
- Predicted Density: 1.32 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Moderately hygroscopic, easy to agglomerate under high humidity
- Aqueous property: Weak alkaline aqueous solution; forms soluble salts when reacted with inorganic acids
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Thiazole ring with amino substitution at C2 position; amino group and thiazole ring both have high chemical activity
- Amino group reactivity: Capable of diazotization, acylation, alkylation, condensation reactions to construct various drug skeletons
- Ring reactivity: Thiazole ring undergoes halogenation, nitration and electrophilic substitution under mild conditions
- Photostability: Highly light-sensitive; prolonged UV exposure turns powder dark brown and generates oxidation impurities
- Thermal stability: Stable below 80 °C; decomposes above melting point to release toxic sulfur-containing volatile gas
- Compatibility: Compatible with polar protic/aprotic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acid under heating
