In the thermal decomposition of disulfide-type thiamine derivatives in isobutanol, the addition of dialkyl disulfide, sulfur, or bis (2-hydroxyethyl) disulfide resulted in the increased formation of thiochrome (I), thiothiamine (III), or thiamine-thiazolone (II), respectively. The formation of thiamine butyl disulfide (VIII) as an intermediate was observed by the addition of dibutyl disulfide to thiamine disulfide (IV). Therefore, it is assumed that the addition of dialkyl disulfide has effected change of the usual decomposition route of (IV) to the decomposition of thiamine alkyl disulfide and resulted in the formation of a different product.
