Reaction network arising from the La3+-mediated reaction of glyoxylate and pyruvate, including non-detected intermediates with the most probable routes represented by solid arrows requiring either one (direct arrow) or both of the reactants (arrow starting from grey box). The frame colors are consistent with respective substance coloring in the analytical data (see Figure 1 and Supporting Information). -- Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf
