Several 2- and 3-propionic acids (III and IV) have been prepared by the reaction of the corresponding phenacyl bromides with thioureas and thioamides (Hantzsch synthesis).The mass spectra of the esters (II) of III show a unique fragmentation resulting in the concerted loss of CH3CHO and CH3CH=C=O from the molecular ion through a rearrangement involving transfer of a hydrogen atom from ethyl group to the phenoxy oxygen.Another hydrogen transfer reaction leads to the concerted loss of CO2 and C2H4 from the molecular ion of IV.However, no such process is observed in the mass spectra of III.The thiazole ring suffers cleavage in a characteristic manner after the removal of acid/ester function in II, III and IV.The compounds have been screened for their antiinflammatory activity.
