  • The structures of α-oxocarboxylic acids are discussed in the October 2010 column of JCE Featured Molecules. The molecules added to the JCE Featured Molecules collection this month include one member of each enantiomeric pair of the oxidized ascorbic acid, as well as gas-phase and solution-phase structures of pyruvic acid and its conjugate base and hydrated pyruvic acid and its conjugate base. Also added to the collection are ascorbic acid and glycine zwitterion.
