Thiazolines (/θaɪˈæzoʊliːnz/; or dihydrothiazoles) are a group of isomeric 5-membered heterocyclic compounds containing both sulfur and nitrogen in the ring. Although unsubstituted thiazolines are rarely encountered themselves, their derivatives are more common and some are bioactive. For example, in a common post-translational modification, cysteine residues are converted into thiazolines.[1]
The name thiazoline originates from the Hantzsch–Widman nomenclature.
Isomers
[edit]
Three structural isomers of thiazoline exist depending on the position of the double bond. These forms do not readily interconvert and hence are not tautomers. Of these 2-thiazoline is the most common.
A fourth structure exists in which the N and S atoms are adjacent; this known as isothiazoline.
Synthesis
[edit]Thiazolines were first prepared by dialkylation of thioamides by Richard Willstatter in 1909.[2] 2-Thiazolines are commonly prepared from 2-aminoethanethiols (e.g. cysteamine).[3] They may also be synthesized via the Asinger reaction.
Applications
[edit]Many molecules contain thiazoline rings, one example being Firefly luciferin, the light-emitting molecule in fireflies. The amino acid cysteine is produced industrially from substituted thiazole.[3] 2-Aminothiazoline-4-carboxylic acid is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of L-cysteine.[4]
