Dimerization of pyruvate induced by the zinc(II)-catalysed decarboxylation of oxaloacetate
Abstract
The ZnII-catalysed rate of formation of pyruvate dimer(parapyruvate) is enhanced by the decarboxylation of oxac2–, providing evidence for the postulated existence of intermediate pyruvate enolate in both of these reactions.
