Abstract
Ab initio methods are employed to study the interactions between amines and the methyl pyruvate molecule. Calculations indicate that amines interact with MP via a donor-acceptor complex with the nitrogen lone pair of the amines acting as the donor and the antibonding (CO)* orbital of the keto carbonyl bond acting as acceptor.
