nothing chemically.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

Both are just weak acids; and one is not many orders of magnitude weaker then the other. There is no desire to react because it does not lead to a lower energy (more stable) and the barrier for any possible reaction is very high.

In the Krebs cycle, acetyl-CoA (an activated form of acetic acid) reacts with oxalate in an aldol condensation reaction to form citrate.  This reaction is catalyzed by citrate synthase.
