Chemical Information
FooDB NameEthyl pyruvate
DescriptionEthyl pyruvate belongs to the class of organic compounds known as enoate esters. These are an alpha,beta-unsaturated carboxylic ester of general formula R1C(R2)=C(R3)C(=O)OR4 (R4= organyl compound) in which the ester C=O function is conjugated to a C=C double bond at the alpha,beta position. Ethyl pyruvate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ethyl pyruvate is a sweet, caramel, and citrus tasting compound.
