In this work, the 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol (C6H9NSO) molecule was studied by using the experimental spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis in three different solvents and the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies) and density functional theory calculations. The molecular geometric parameters, vibrational wavenumbers, highoccupied-low-occupied molecular orbitals energies, 1 H and 13 C NMR chemical shift values, molecular electrostatic potential, natural bond orbitals, and nonlinear optical properties of the 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol were performed by using the B3LYP, B3LYP-GD3 and HSEH1PBE levels of density functional theory with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The spectral results obtained from the quantum chemical calculations of 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol are in a good agreement with the experimental results.
