Rearrangement of Substituted Propionanilides.
Pak J Pharm Sci Jan ;14(1):47-8.

The rearrangements of substituted anilides of propionic acid to amino ketones in a solvent medium were studied, employing bismuth chloride as a catalyst. Rearranged compounds were then characterized by qualitative tests and spectral data. All rearranged compounds afforded positive diazotisation test and carbonyl group test. Rearranged compounds showed diagnostic peak in IR for primary aromatic amine while mass spectrum indicates the fragmentation pattern common to amino compounds.
