Why is this article in Category:Chemical element symbol templates? There is something weird with it, but I can't find it. -- Kenyon 09:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
The image shown is actually a structural diagram of Maleic Acid, not fumaric. This is so because fumaric acid is a trans isomer of butenedioic acid, not a cis isomer (the OH and O groups should be on opposite sides of the final carbons).
In the diagram how is it the trans isomer if the OH groups are both on the bottom, and the O groups are both on the top of the double bond? Shouldn't they be on opposite sides?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.21.7.136 ( talk • contribs)
I think the confusion might be cleared up if you looked at this chemical's "real" name—fumaric acid is "scientifically" known as trans-1,2-ethylenedicarboxylic acid. The "trans" describes the carboxylic acid functional group's (COOH) position relative to the double bond in the "base" ethylene molecule. You can see that the COOH groups on the left and right side of the molecule are on opposite sides of the double bond between C1 and C2 of the ethylene.
Compare this diagram with cis-1,2-ethylenedicarboxylic acid (maleic acid) and you will see that the carboxylic acid functional groups are on the "same side" of the double bond between C1 and C2 in the ethylene portion of the molecule.
Sorry if you don't get this.

This [1] paper gives solubility values in mol fraction. The given value for water is higher than the value of 4.9g/l currently on the page. I would like to add these solvents with g/L values, can someone check my calculations please:
at 297 K / 24 *C | Solvent Mol Wt. | mol fraction*10^3 | mol fraction | [mol fumaric] /kg solvent | Solvent Density | [mol fumaric] /L solvent | Fumaric Mol Wt. | Solubility (g/L) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
=B/1000 | =(D*1000)/B | =E*F | From wiki | =G*H | ||||
Water | 18 | 1.252 [1] | 0.0013 | 0.0696 | 1 | 0.069555556 | 116.07 | 8.1 |

fumarate redirects here and is mentioned in the Biology section, but it is not clear what it is. ... urea cycle shows it as the C4H2O4-- ion. ... so I've added that to the intro. - Rod57 ( talk) 22:51, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
The esters are so different, eg more toxic, that the Uses section could perhaps seperate Uses of the acid from Uses of the esters ? Or maybe one day we should split out fumaric acid esters ? - Rod57 ( talk) 23:16, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
I was just looking for this article in reference to a fumerate salt. So, fumerate was what I searched for. But, what came up was an article on schedule h of the Indian drug and cosmetics act of 1945. I think this page is a tad more relevant. Heh. VoidHalo ( talk) 15:57, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
