Thiamin (vitamin B1)

Thiamin was  first  isolated  in  1926 from rice polishing by  Jansen  and Donath.  Its empirical formula was established  in  1931  by  Windaus  and  co-workers  and  the chemical structure of the  compound  was elucidated  in  1936  by  Williams  and co-workers.

The chemical  name  for this water soluble  vitamin is  3-[(4-amino-2-methyl-5- pyrimidinyl) methyl] - 5-(2-hydroxyethy1)-4-methylthiazolium. Do not get perturbed by  this long name. You would not be expected to remember this chemical name for thiamin.
