Chapter 8, Problem 8.58(choose chapter or problem)
There are two dicarboxylic acids with the general formula HO2CCHCHCO2H. One dicarboxylic acid is called maleic acid; the other is called fumaric acid. When treated with OsO4, followed by NaHSO3/H2O, 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.
