The reduction of o-nitrophenyl acetic acids or esters leads to cyclization to oxindoles. Several routes to o-nitrophenylacetic acid derivatives arc available, including nitroarylation of carbanions with o-nitroaryl halides[2l,22] or trif-late[23] and acylation of o-nitrotoluenes with diethyl oxalate followed by oxidation of the resulting 3-(u-nitrophenyl)pyruvate[24 26]. 

Diethyl oxalate (29.2 g, 0.20mol) and 4-bromo-2-nitrotoluene (21.6 g, O.lOmol) were added to a cooled solution of sodium cthoxide prepared from sodium (4.6 g, 0.20 mol) and ethanol (90 ml). The mixture was stirred overnight and then refluxed for 10 min. Water (30 ml) was added and the solution refluxed for 2h to effect hydrolysis of the pyruvate ester. The solution was cooled and concentrated in vacuo. The precipitate was washed with ether and dried. The salt was dissolved in water (300 ml) and acidified with cone. HCl. The precipitate was collected, washed with water, dried and recrystallizcd from hexane-EtOAc to give 15.2 g of product. 

A solution of trifluoroacetic acid in toluene was found to be advantageous for cydization of pyruvate hydrazoncs having nitro substituents[4]. p-Toluene-sulfonic acid or Amberlyst-15 in toluene has also been found to give excellent results in preparation of indole-2-carboxylale esters from pyruvate hydra-zoiies[5,6J. Acidic zeolite catalysts have been used with xylene as a solvent to convert phenylhydraziiies and ketones to indoles both in one-flask procedures and in a flow-through reactor[7]. 

Acid moieties include formic acid itself, formates and orthoesters, formamide, DMF dimethyl acetal and ethyl diethoxyacetate, acids, acid chlorides and anhydrides, the last including a rare [3,4-oxalate esters, 2-acyl or 2-ethoxycar-bonyl derivatives e.g. 180) are formed.

Methylsuccinic acid has been prepared by the pyrolysis of tartaric acid from 1,2-dibromopropane or allyl halides by the action of potassium cyanide followed by hydrolysis by reduction of itaconic, citraconic, and mesaconic acids by hydrolysis of ketovalerolactonecarboxylic acid by decarboxylation of 1,1,2-propane tricarboxylic acid by oxidation of /3-methylcyclo-hexanone by fusion of gamboge with alkali by hydrog. nation and condensation of sodium lactate over nickel oxide from acetoacetic ester by successive alkylation with a methyl halide and a monohaloacetic ester by hydrolysis of oi-methyl-o -oxalosuccinic ester or a-methyl-a -acetosuccinic ester by action of hot, concentrated potassium hydroxide upon methyl-succinaldehyde dioxime from the ammonium salt of a-methyl-butyric acid by oxidation with. hydrogen peroxide from /9-methyllevulinic acid by oxidation with dilute nitric acid or hypobromite from /J-methyladipic acid and from the decomposition products of glyceric acid and pyruvic acid. The method described above is a modification of that of Higginbotham and Lapworth. ...

Several additional points should be made. First, although oxygen esters usually have lower group-transfer potentials than thiol esters, the O—acyl bonds in acylcarnitines have high group-transfer potentials, and the transesterification reactions mediated by the acyl transferases have equilibrium constants close to 1. Second, note that eukaryotic cells maintain separate pools of CoA in the mitochondria and in the cytosol. The cytosolic pool is utilized principally in fatty acid biosynthesis (Chapter 25), and the mitochondrial pool is important in the oxidation of fatty acids and pyruvate, as well as some amino acids. 

Only in the case of the pyruvic acid condensation product was it possible to isolate the corresponding ethyl ester under these conditions. This, on mild hydrolysis, reverted to 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-j8-carbohne-1-carboxylic acid, identical with the starting material, which therefore had the assigned structure 26 (R = CH3) and was not the SchiflF s base 25 (R = CH3). Alkaline hydrolysis of the ester was accompanied by decarboxylation. ... 

Catalytic reduction of the nitrile 79 in the presence of semicarbazide affords initially the semicarbazone of 80. Hydrolysis-interchange, for example in the presence of pyruvic acid, gives the aldehyde 80. Condensation with the half ester of malonic acid leads to the acrylic ester 81 the double bond is then removed by means of catalytic reduction (82). Base catalyzed reaction of the... 

Step 2 of Figure 29.11 Decarboxylation The TPP addition product, which contains an iminium ion j8 to a carboxylate anion, undergoes decarboxylation in much the same way that a jB-keto acid decarboxylates in the acetoacetic ester synthesis (Section 22.7). The C=N+ bond of the pyruvate addition product acts...

Addition of 2-pyrazolines to tetrazines gave 330 (84AP237 88CZ17). The pyrazolotriazine derivative 331 was prepared (76MI6) by treating diamino guanidine with acetyl pyruvic acid ethyl ester in either acid or neutral aqueous solution (Scheme 70). 

In addition to one or more sugars, exopolysaccharides from prokaryotes commonly contain pyruvate ketals and various ester-linked organic substituents. These are only rarely found in eukaryotic exopolysaccharides. 

On addition of the acetic acid, a small amount of black solid settles out, but this dissolves when the solution is swirled for several minutes. The potassium salt of ethyl o-nitrophenyl-pyruvate, although it undergoes no apparent change in color, does not keep indefinitely in the dry state. After 3 weeks of storage at room temperature, the salt still produced a yellow solution when dissolved in acetic acid, but, after 3 months of storage, the dry salt produced a deep-red solution from which an oil, rather than crystalline ester, was obtained after catalytic hydrogenation.

The various reactions of aminophosphines with ketones have been discussed. Reaction of (52) with benzaldehyde presumably takes place by attack at carbonyl carbon followed by a proton shift. " The same site of initial attack is suggested for the reaction of pyruvate esters with (53), although in this case it is followed by rearrangement. 

A. Phosphoenolpyruvate.—The mechanisms of hydrolysis of phosphate esters of phosphoenol pyruvic acid (33) have been described in detail, and 0 studies confirm an earlier postulate that attack by water on the cyclic acyl phosphate (34) occurs at phosphorus and not at carbon. In the enolase reaction, the reversible interconversion of 2-phosphoglyceric acid(35)... 

Pd/Si02 was prepared at ICI Katalco and 4% Pd/Fe20j at Johnson Matthey Reactants used are shown in Table 1. Trifluorotiglic acid and its ester were synthesised by D Hunter at Glasgow University. The other unsaturated carboxylic acids (Aldrich), methyl pyruvate (Fluka), but-3-en-2-one (Aldrich), cinchonidine (Aldrich), cinchonine (Hopkin and Williams), ethanol (AnalaR grade, BDH) and THF (non stabilised, Fisons) were used as received... 

Although cinchona-modified Pd showed no enantioselectivity in the hydrogenation of the methyl esters of the unsaturated acids, the hydrogenation of methyl pyruvate occurred with a modest enantiomeric excess... 

The enantiomeric excess (ee) of the hydrogenated products was determined either by polarimetry, GLC equipped with a chiral column or H-NMR with a chiral shift reagent. Methyl lactate and methyl 3-hydroxybutanoate, obtained from 1 and 2, respectively, were analized polarimetry using a Perkin-Elmer 243B instrument. The reference values of [a]o(neat) were +8.4° for (R)-methyl pyruvate and -22.95° for methyl 3-hydroxybutcinoate. Before GLC analysis, i-butyl 5-hydroxyhexanoate, methyl 5-hydroxyhexanoate, and n-butyl 5-hydroxyhexanoate, obtained from 1, 5, and 6, respectively, were converted to the pentanoyl esters, methyl 3-hydroxybutanoate was converted to the acetyl ester, and methyl 4-methyl-3-hydroxybutanoate obtained from 2 was converted the ester of (+)-a-methyl-a-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl acetic acid (MTPA).
