Reaktionsschritte

cis,trans-Muconic acid (105 mg, 0.739 mmol) is dissolved in methanol (10 mL) at room temperature and a crystal of iodine (26 mg, 0.102 mmol) is added. The reaction mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature for 24 hours. The precipitate is filtered, washed with ice-cold acetonitrile and dried under reduced pressure to yield 65 mg of trans,trans-muconic acid, a 62 percent yield.
