Abstract

While the over-all result of the reaction is an acid-catalyzed replacement of hydroxyl by the mercaptan) it seemed possible that its course might be a more complicated one involving the hemimercaptol (111) as an intermediate. A pinacol-type rearrangement of I11 with migration of hydrogen would lead to I.
