This compound has chemical formula CH3COCOOH and is the simplest of the keto acids. Microorganisms use it in the synthesis of leucine, valine, phenylalanine, and alanine, and, in the absence of vitamin B1, it accumulates in tissues along with lactic acid, causing some of the symptoms of beriberi. FTP, name this compound whose ionized form is converted into acetyl coenzyme
