Method to convert dimethyl fumarate into dimethyl maleate

Reference no: EM13706463

Problem- 1) Do you think using this method of "morphiline and zinc chhloride" could be used as a high yielding method to convert dimethyl fumarate into dimethyl maleate? Why or why not? Only well detailed answer will receive all the points.

2) Do you think this method of "morphiline and zinc chloride could be used as a high yielding method to convert cis 2-butene into trans-2-butene? Why or why not? Again you need to provide details to get full points

I want you to explain the chemistry in this problem
