Figured it was better to say something given its potential to top people.
And glass of? I don't know how anyone could swallow it as a liquid. Its alright in small quantities, but only when the capsules open up after swallowing, but it tastes as funky as it smells. Not that I dislike the smell, it reminds me of what you might get if you brewed cider using ether to soak old apples, but that tendency to attack plastic is a nuisance, especially if your working up a synthesis and the base starts to volatilize. Easy to synth, if thats your speciality, bisulfite cleavage of thiamine (vitamin B1) followed by aqueous workup (the pyrimidine portion, that gets cleaved off is water soluble, and rather nasty, being a potent convulsant, acting via inhibition of GABA biosynthesis, due to its inhibiting the action or uptake of vitamin B6. But the methylthiazole-2-ethanol is much less soluble and crashes out, SOCl2 chlorination works a treat, and the decomposition products are conveniently gaseous. Workup being takeup of finished product in, ideally, methylene chloride, and vacuum distillation (tried it at atmospheric pressure once, never, ever again. It obviously is thermolabile, and can crack into something sulfurous that packs one hell of a stench. Also, watch it, it can also do something either identical, or form some other vile sulfurous metabolite with continued, heavy dosage over several days. It smells...well...like a low-mid weight thiol took a post-cheap-curry shit, and it CARRIES.
And by carries, I mean 'people will turn and quite literally run the other way down the street when you come within 100 yards' and that traces of the sulfurous stinker from trying to distill the base at 1atm, kept me out of the lab for several days until the stygian aroma faded. Got to be one of the vilest things that wasn't trying to kill me at the time that I've ever smelled, bar isocyanides and possibly pyridine. (not counting H2S, of course, as generally, it is less than friendly, and a downright sneaky murderous little bastard given the chance)
