CH3COCO2H is the chemical formula for Pyruvate. The chemical equation is the term for a reaction, therefore there is no chemical equation for Pyruvate. There is a chemical equation for the synthesis of Pyruvate, such as that done by pyruvate kinase during Glycolysis whereby Phosphoenolpyruvate gets phosphorylated by ATP giving Pyruvate. Or the creation of Pyruvate in a laboratory by the hydrolysi of acetyl cyanide, after forming it by combining acetyl choloride with potassium cyanide:

CH3COCI + KCN -> CH3COCN ->CH3COCOOH
