Bromination of the thiazole ring by the enzyme chloroperoxidase, produced by the fungus Caldariomyces fumago , was demonstrated. Both 2‐acetoacetamido‐4‐methylthiazole and 2‐acetamidothiazole were brominated on C‐5 of the thiazole ring in the presence of chloroperoxidase, bromide, and hydrogen peroxide in 0.06 M Phosphate solution at pH 3.0. No reaction occurred in the absence of enzyme.
