3-(((4-Amino-2-methylpyrimidin-5-yl)methyl)thio)propane-1,2-diol is the chemical name of Thiamine, a water-soluble vitamin essential for normal carbohydrate metabolism and proper functioning of the nervous system. It acts as a precursor of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), a key coenzyme involved in energy production pathways such as glucose breakdown. Naturally found in foods like whole grains, legumes, nuts, and yeast, thiamine deficiency can lead to disorders such as beriberi and Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome.
