The benzilic acid rearrangement of ethyl α,β‐dioxo‐butyrate was studied by NMR.‐and UV.‐techniques. In weak alkaline media (pH < 10) the ester group is hydrolyzed first, then the carboxylate group migrates to form methyltartronate. The migration of the carboxylate group was proved by radioactive labeling. At higher pH‐values (pH > 11,5) the intakt ester group migrates, with ester hydrolysis occuring as a second step.
