Trimethylpyruvic acid

CAS: 815-17-8

Trimethylpyruvic acid is an organic compound that is a colorless liquid with a strong odor. It is produced by the oxidation of l-tert-leucine with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The molecule is chiral, which means it can exist as two different forms that have different physical and chemical properties. Trimethylpyruvic acid can be used for the synthesis of other molecules, including amides, carboxylic acids, and nucleotides. It also has photochemical properties and can be used in reactions that require heating or light.
