Abstract: Bacteria have adapted in environments where free iron is severely limited, secreting small iron chelating molecules. One group of these siderophores contains a thiazoline ring in its structure. These compounds isolated from bacteria will be presented and different aspects of their chemistry including synthesis will be presented.
