use | for organic synthesis. |
production method | the mixture of 100g(0.89mol) of methyl maleic anhydride, 100ml of water and 150ml of dilute nitric acid is evaporated until red smoke appears, the solution is cooled, methyl fumaric acid is filtered out, the mother liquor is continuously concentrated and filtered to obtain a small amount of product. The crude methyl fumaric acid was used for recrystallization to obtain 50-60g of product with a yield of 43%-52%. |
