Reaction Steps

Fumarate is prepared from 6.3 g (0.0158 mol) of base in 100 ml of ethanol and 1.83 g (0.0158 mol) of fumaric acid in 180 ml of ethanol. The clear solution obtained is concentrated almost completely, ethyl acetate is added and the mixture is triturated. A white solid is obtained, which product is recrystallised in ethanol (68.3% yield).
