The cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate catalyzes a decarboxylation of this type that forms succinyl-CoA in the Krebs cycle.
Haloketones of this type can react upon the addition of an aqueous base to form a cyclopropanone intermediate that subsequently rearranges to form a carboxylic acid. Diketones of this type can be formed by the "umpolung" coupling of carbonyl compounds in the presence of cyanide. The cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate catalyzes a decarboxylation of this type that forms succinyl-CoA in the Krebs cycle. An effect with this name is used to explain the high nucleophilicity of hydrazine-derivatives. All proteinogenic amino acids have adjacent amino and carboxyl groups, an orientation described by this letter. For 10 points, name this Greek letter used to refer to the decay route of uranium-238, which involves the emission of a helium nucleus.
