Reaction Steps

A method of synthesizing pyruvyl-leucine according to the invention comprises the steps of reacting sodium pyruvate with oxalyl chloride to yield pyruvyl chloride, then reacting the pyruvyl chloride with a suspension of leucine trimethylsilyl ester hydrochloride to yield a pyruvyl-leucine trimethylsilyl ester and then subjecting the pyruvylleucine trimethylsilyl ester to hydrolysis to yield pyruvyl-leucine. The pyruvyl-leucine synthesized via the route set forth above serves as a pyruvyl-amino acid pyruvate precursor.
