General description
Crystal structure of dihydroxyfumaric acid dihydrate has been reported. Homogeneous reaction of dihydroxyfumarate (DHF) with glyoxylic acid monohydrate has been reported. It is also reported to react with glyoxylate, glycolaldehyde and glyceraldehyde, via α-keto acid intermediates, to afford triose, tetrulose and pentuloses.
Application
Dihydroxyfumaric acid dihydrate may be used in the preparation of mesoxalic acid semialdehyde and its derivatives.

An abiotic formation of meso- and DL-tartrates in 80% yield via the cyanide-catalyzed dimerization of glyoxylate under alkaline conditions is demonstrated. A detailed mechanism for this conversion is proposed, supported by NMR evidence and (13)C-labeled reactions. Simple dehydration of tartrates

In the context of a "glyoxylate scenario" of primordial metabolism, the reactions of dihydroxyfumarate (DHF) with reactive small molecule aldehydes (e.g., glyoxylate, formaldehyde, glycolaldehyde, and glyceraldehyde) in water were investigated and shown to form dihydroxyacetone, tetrulose, and the two pentuloses
