NO IT WILL NOT DISSOLVE IN ORGANICS
Actually, maleic acid [CAS#110-16-7] does have some organic solubility. One can dissolve >100mg per 1mL in isopropanol (IPA) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Solubility in isopropyl acetate (IPAc) is extremely low. All solvents used in this survey were "anhydrous" (<100 ug/mL H2O by KF). I have not examined other solvents.

What is the function of the hydrochloric acid in the isomerization of maleic acid?
Hydrochloric acid is used in the isomerization of maleic acid to catalyze the reaction. It helps in promoting the rearrangement of maleic acid to its isomer, fumaric acid, by providing an acidic environment that enhances the reaction rate.
What products would be formed upon reaction of maleic acid with magnesium?
Maleic acid would react with magnesium to form magnesium maleate. This reaction involves the replacement of hydrogen atoms in maleic acid with magnesium to form the salt magnesium maleate.
What is the melting point range of Maleic acid?
The melting point range of maleic acid is typically between 130-139°C.
What reaction would occur if toulene were not completely dry in a reaction between maleic anhydride and dimethylbutadiene?
If toluene were not completely dry in a reaction between maleic anhydride and dimethylbutadiene, water could react with maleic anhydride instead of dimethylbutadiene, forming maleic acid. This would lead to undesired side products and potentially reduce the yield of the intended reaction. It is important to ensure dry conditions to favor the desired Diels-Alder reaction between maleic anhydride and dimethylbutadiene.
What is the Reaction of maleic acid with sodium carbonate?
Maleic acid reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium maleate and carbon dioxide gas. This is a double displacement reaction where the hydrogen ions of maleic acid are replaced by sodium ions from sodium carbonate.
