A type of unsaturated dicarboxylic acid. It is a geometric isomer of fumaric acid and is cis-1,2-ethylenedicarboxylic acid. It was obtained as an anhydride in 1817 by dry distillation of malic acid. It is obtained together with maleic anhydride by the air oxidation of benzene in the gas phase using vanadium pentoxide as a catalyst. Maleic anhydride becomes maleic acid when reacted with water, so only maleic acid can be obtained. It isomerizes to trans-fumaric acid upon melting, but becomes maleic anhydride at temperatures above 160°C. Anhydride formation is more likely with cis-maleic acid, but does not occur unless the temperature is high with trans-fumaric acid.

不飽和ジカルボン酸の一種。フマル酸の幾何異性体で、シス形の1,2-エチレンジカルボン酸である。1817年にリンゴ酸の乾留により無水物として得られた。五酸化バナジウムを触媒として、ベンゼンを気相で空気酸化すると無水マレイン酸とともに得られる。無水マレイン酸は水と反応させるとマレイン酸になるので、マレイン酸のみを得ることができる。融解とともに異性化してトランス形のフマル酸になるが、160℃以上の温度では無水マレイン酸になる。無水物の生成はシス形のマレイン酸でおこりやすく、トランス形のフマル酸では高温にしないとおこらない。
