The isomerization of fumaric acid to maleic acid is an equilibrium reaction that favors maleic acid at higher temperatures. Typically, this conversion is performed at temperatures between 140-180 °C, often in the presence of a catalyst like a strong acid or a Lewis acid. The exact temperature will depend on the specific catalyst, reaction conditions, and desired yield.
