Hydrogenation and Isomerization of Disodium Maleate in the Solid Phase over Fine Nickel Powder

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.65.1168

Disodium maleate was converted to a mixture of disodium maleate, fumarate, and succinate in the solid phase when particles of the starting material were kept in contact with fine nickel powder pretreated with hydrogen gas at 200 deg C.
