Common NameBenzothiazole
DescriptionBenzothiazole, also known as BT or benzosulfonazole, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzothiazoles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene fused to a thiazole ring (a five-membered ring with four carbon atoms, one nitrogen atom and one sulfur atom). This ring is a potential component in nonlinear optics (NLO). The nine atoms of the bicycle and the attached substituents are coplanar. Although the parent compound, benzothiazole is not widely used, many of its derivatives are found in commercial products or in nature. Benzothiazole is a coffee, cooked, and gasoline tasting compound. benzothiazole is found, on average, in the highest concentration in safflowers. benzothiazole has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as common persimmons, fruits, guava, potato, and tea. This could make benzothiazole a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Firefly luciferin can be considered a derivative of benzothiazole. The compound is used also used as an insecticide and food flavoring agent. Some drugs contain this group, examples being riluzole and pramipexole. It is colorless, slightly viscous liquid. It is a thermally stable electron-withdrawing moiety with numerous applications in dyes such as thioflavin. Benzothiazole is an aromatic heterocyclic compound with the chemical formula C7H5NS.
