Reaction Steps

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