Thiamine Nitrate
CAS Number: 532-43-4
Molecular formula: C12H17N5O4S
Molecular weight: 327.36
EINECS number: 208-537-4
Chemical properties: White needle-like crystals or crystalline powder, with a faint peculiar smell like rice bran, and a bitter taste.
Melting point: 248-250°C (decomposition).
It is very soluble in water (1g can be dissolved in 1mL of water at 20ºC), slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in ether, benzene, chloroform and acetone. Redox can make it inactive. It has good thermal stability in air and acidic aqueous solution (PH3.0-5.0), and is easy to decompose under neutral and alkaline conditions.
