Procedure

cis,trans-Muconic acid (109 mg, 0.767 mmol) is dissolved in acetone (10 mL) at room temperature and a crystal of iodine (13 mg, 0.05 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture is allowed to stir at room temperature for 24 hour. The precipitate is filtered, washed with ice-cold acetonitrile and dried under reduced pressure to yield 15 mg of trans,trans-muconic acid, a 13 percent yield.
