thiamine uses
Hello everyone, I have some niacin and thiamine tablets of which I'm planning purification.
for niacin I will go for pyridine synthesis, if it's any other useful chemical/reagent that can be synthetized from it I'll be grateful to know.
for thiamine I'm not sure what to do with it (they are both B group vitamins but chemically they come from different places so chemical structure its
completely different) so I'm not sure if I cant synthetize or convert any useful reagent from it.

Thiamine can be used as a catalyst in the benzoin condensation. This is lower yielding than the traditional route using cyanide catalyst, but is
considerably safer and more general. I believe there is a writeup in Prepublication for a procedure.

thank you cryolite, I have been looking at the benzoin condensation and it does look like a fun thing to try (even funnier without cyanide)
I have been looking around and haven´t found anything else worth doing with it, I guess I´ll just purify, try the benzoin and store it for further
ideas.
