“…Found: C, 76.03; , 5.12; N, 11.84. Rearrangement of 4d. Using the same procedure 4d was converted to S-phenyl 3,3-dimethyl-3-phenylthiolpyruvate (14), which was obtained as a thick yellow oil that crystallized on standing. Recrystallization (n-hexane and benzene) gave the pure thiolpyruvate 14 as yellow plates in 70% yield: mp 47-48°; NMR (CCI4) 7.18 (s, 10 ), 1.58 (s, 6 H); ir (KBr) 1715,1695 cm-1.…”
