It's 2-methylpropan-1-ol oxidized with potassium dichromate(VI) in aqueous sulphuric acid to yield 2-methylpropanoic acid (also known as isobutyric acid).
Takes place in the matrix of the mitochondrion. Is an enzyme-catalized reaction. Acetyl CoA combines with OAA (oxaloacetate) to form citrate, which is then oxidized. During this process, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2 and 1 ATP are produced, for each molecule of pyruvate. (Mulitply all products by 2, because glycolysis produces 2 pyruvate).
