Iron → 2-Butenedioic acid (2Z)-, iron(2+) salt (1:1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

An aqueous solution composed of 40 g water, 11 g maleic acid, and 5.6 g very fine iron dust is formed. The metal slowly reacts and dissolves to give iron maleate derivative solution. This solution is used as a monomer source in a polymerization reaction such as that described in Example 8, wherein equimolar amounts of maleate and vinyl acetate were used. After that, a hydrolysis is performed using the procedures described in Example 14. This reaction proceeded as follows:
