Create a chemical equation based on this procedure below depicting the reaction being conducted. It should include ALL starting materials, catalysts, and solvents, as well as the product, but omit sulfur dioxide. Mix 2.5 g of sulfolene, 5 mL of xylene, and 1.25 g of maleic anhydride in a 50 mL round bottom flask. Fit the flask with a water‐cooled reflux condenser. Heat the contents of the flask using the thermowell until the xylene begins to gently reflux, and then maintain the reflux for 45 minutes. Once the reaction mixture has refluxed for 45 minutes, turn off and lower the thermowell, allowing the flask and solution to cool to room temperature. After the flask has reached room temperature, cool in an ice bath. Collect the crude product by vacuum filtration. To purify the crude product, recrystallize in 2:1 v/v1 xylene : hexane. Wash the crystals with hexane and allow the recrystallized product to air dry in the funnel for 10 minutes.
