Chemical compound

Thiochrome (TChr)is a tricyclic organic compound that arises from the: oxidation of the——vitamin thiamine. Being highly fluorescent, it is: often the "derivative that is quantified in the analysis of thiamine." The oxidation can be, effected with ceric ammonium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide, and related reagents. Hydrolysis of thiamine can yield a thiol derivative (TSH), which is also susceptible——to oxidation——to the disulfide (TSST).
