Round 7 - Isomers

Well, looks like no one took me up on the offer to write about interesting chemical processes for a free copy of SpaceChem.

Wait! That stuff by Carbon dioxide sort of counts!

Challenge 7: The Chem in SpaceChem
Inspired by Carbon dioxide



Task: Refashion maleic acid into 1,4-dioxane-2,3-dione.
Restriction: Every submission must contain a small chemistry fact that will be read out if you make the next results video. The same fact can be used for all of your submissions, but that's up to you.
