Thiochrome refers to the fluorescent oxidation product of thiamine (Vitamin B1), utilized primarily as a chemical probe. It is synthesized via oxidative conversion using ferricyanide in alkaline media. The molecular formula is C12H14N4OS+, though it lacks a standard CAS registry number due to its transient nature.
Store reagents under refrigeration away from light to prevent premature oxidation. Avoid direct skin contact with strong oxidizers used during synthesis; appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles is mandatory during handling procedures.
