The link reaction. This links glycolysis to the Krebs Cycle (sometimes called the citric acid cycle). Pyruvate molecules are decarboxylated (they lose a molecule of carbon dioxide) in the mitochondria. Pyruvate molecules are oxidized and converted to acetylcoenzyme A, usually abbreviated to acetyl CoA.

Hi..... The link reaction(known as gateway step) is a reaction which connects the glycolysis or glycolytic process to the Kreb cycle. In the presence of enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase sulphur containing CoA and NAD, pyruvate undergoes oxidative decarboxylation and produces 2-carbon compound acetyl CoA, NADH+Hand CO2. So the final end product is acetyl CoA.
