Chapter 13, Problem 52P

Mixing furan (Problem 13.44) with maleic anhydride in diethyl ether yields a crystalline solid with a melting point of 125°C. When melting of this compound takes place, however, one can notice that the melt evolves a gas. If the melt is allowed to resolidify, one finds that it no longer melts at 125°C but instead it melts at 56°C. Consult an appropriate chemistry handbook and provide an explanation for what is taking place.
