Textbook Error, 138: The Singly Protonated Structure of Thiamine: Basicity of the Heterocyclic Nitrogen versus NH2 Nitrogen.
Panijpan, Bhinyo
Journal of Chemical Education, v56 n12 p805-06 Dec 1979
Spectroscopic studies on solutions and x-ray diffraction work on crystals lead to the conclusion that the Metrogen of the pyrimidine ring is preferentially protonated. The correct monoprotonated structures of thiamine and its 4-amino-pyrimidine synthetic precursor are presented. (BT)
