To be blunt: no.

There was a study in the 1930s that showed that plant roots (specifically, pea roots) cut off from the plant and placed in a medium containing thiamine grew better than those in a medium without it.

However, studies since then involving intact plants (and not severed parts of one) have shown no real difference when thiamine is administered.

Unless you've actually cut off the roots when you were transplanting the tree, thiamine is not going to help. There are "rooting hormones" that you can get that will have an effect; thiamine is not one of them.
