Suggest a synthesis setup for production maleic acid from fumaric acid

Accepted Answer

Fumaric acid can be isomerized to maleic acid using a catalyst like sulfuric acid. The reaction is typically carried out in an aqueous solution at elevated temperatures. A batch reactor with stirring and temperature control would be suitable for this synthesis. The reaction mixture can then be cooled and the maleic acid can be crystallized and isolated.
