Abstract
This note presents data suggesting more than one compound capable of functioning in the living organism as does thiamine, viz., a methyl thiamine (the one originally isolated and synthesized), and an ethyl form differing in having the CH3 group in the 2d position on the pyrimidine ring replaced by the C2H5 radical. Still other thiamines are postulated.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
