“…Recent experiments have shown that the reaction of 2-benzoyl-3,4-dimethylthiazolium iodide with methanol is not only rapid but has a free energy of reaction of approximately -15 kcal. 16 Thus 2-acetylthiazolium ions are not only kinetically labile but are "high energy" compounds and both requirements for the reaction of 2-acetylthiamine with phosphate ion to produce acetylphosphate are fulfilled.…”

“…This observation suggests that acetyl thiamine pyrophosphate is formed as a further energy-rich intermediate in the ferricyanide-linked oxidation of pyruvate. Acetylthiamine pyrophosphate was shown to be a highly unstable compound (155,160,161). It never has been demonstrated directly as an intermediate in the physiological reaction sequence although many experiments with various enzymes-e.g.…”
