'''α-Ketoisovaleric acid''' is an ] with the formula (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHC(O)CO<sub>2</sub>H. It is a ]. With a melting point just above room temperature, it is usually an oil or semi-solid. The compound is colorless. It is a metabolite of ] and a precursor to ], a prosthetic group found in several cofactors. In the biological context, is usually encountered as its conjugate base '''ketoisovalerate''', (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHC(O)CO<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup>.<ref name=biosyn>{{Cite journal|last1=Leonardi|first1=Roberta|last2=Jackowski|first2=Suzanne|date=April 2007|title=Biosynthesis of Pantothenic Acid and Coenzyme A|journal=EcoSal Plus|volume=2|issue=2|doi=10.1128/ecosalplus.3.6.3.4|issn=2324-6200|pmc=4950986|pmid=26443589}}</ref>

==Synthesis and reactions==
α-Ketoisovalerate undergoes ] to give ]:<ref name=biosyn/>
:(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHC(O)CO<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup> + CH<sub>2</sub>O → HOCH<sub>2</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CC(O)CO<sub>2</sub><sup>−</sup>
This conversion is catalyzed by ketopantoate hydroxymethyltransferase.

Like many α-ketoacids, α-ketoisovaleric acid is prone to decarboxylation to give ]:
:(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHC(O)CO<sub>2</sub>H → (CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>CHCHO + CO<sub>2</sub>
Genetic engineering has been used to produce the ] ] by reduction of isobutyraldehyde obtained from ketoisovalerate.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1038/nature06450|title=Non-Fermentative Pathways for Synthesis of Branched-Chain Higher Alcohols as Biofuels|year=2008|last1=Atsumi|first1=Shota|last2=Hanai|first2=Taizo|last3=Liao|first3=James C.|journal=Nature|volume=451|issue=7174|pages=86–89|pmid=18172501|bibcode=2008Natur.451...86A|s2cid=4413113}}</ref>
