Chapter 8, Problem 54P

There are two dicarboxylic acids with the general formula H O 2 C C H = C H C O 2 H . One dicarboxylic acid is called maleic acid; the other is called fumaric acid. When treated with O s O 4 , followed by N a H S O 3 / H 2 O , maleic acid yields meso-tartaric acid and fumaric acid yields ( ± ) -tartaric acid. Show how this information allows one to write stereochemical formulas for maleic acid and fumaric acid.
