Thialdine is a basic heterocyclic chemical compound with the molecular formula C6H13NS2.
Preparation
[edit]Thialdine was first synthesized by Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Wöhler in 1847 by passing hydrogen sulfide through a solution of acetaldehyde ammonia trimer, with thialdine crystallizing from the solution.[1]
Acetaldehyde ammonia trimer is the cyclic trimer formed in the condensation reaction of acetaldehyde with ammonia:
- 3 CH3CHO + 3 NH3 → (CH3CHNH)3 + 3 H2O
The aldehyde ammonia does not need to be isolated as an intermediate.
The configuration of the three methyl groups in thialdine can differ, so that multiple cis-trans isomers are possible. However, X-ray diffraction has shown that in practice thialdine occurs in the all-cis configuration.[2]
Uses
[edit]Thialdine is used as a flavoring agent in foods. It is included in the list of flavoring substances authorized in the European Union[3] and is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) in the United States.[4] The FEMA number of thialdine is 4018. Thialdine has a roasted meat smell and is therefore used as a flavoring in meat.[5]
Salts of thialdine have been used as an antioxidant additive in lubricating oils.[6]
Thialdine and similar compounds have been proposed as rubber vulcanization accelerators.[7]
