Reaction Steps

cis,trans-Muconic acid (105 mg, 0.739 mmol) is dissolved in ethanol (10 mL) at room temperature and a crystal of iodine (13 mg, 0.05 mmol) is added. The reaction mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature for 24 hour. The precipitate is filtered, washed with acetonitrile and dried under reduced pressure to yield 70 mg of trans,trans-muconic acid, a 67 percent yield.
