hi all, i understand that maleic acid being in cis form is more acidic than fumaric acid.
is it due to the fact that because of the cis configuration, it can form intramolecular H bonds which then stablises the monoanion through resonance or?
then in the monoanion form, furamate monoanion is more acidic than malate monoanion... haha this i have no idea why... can anyone here please give me some guidance? any help would be greatly appreciated =)
