Question
Chapter 4.7, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The absolute configuration
Concept introduction:
A chirality center is the tetrahedral carbon which is directly attached to four different atoms or groups.
In the Fischer projection, the vertical bonds point away from the observer while the horizontal bonds point towards the observer.
When determining the configuration, the molecule is oriented such that the lowest ranked atom points away from the observer.
The order of decreasing priorities of the three other atoms or groups is decided. If it traces a clockwise path, the configuration is R and if it traces a counterclockwise path, the configuration is S.

Give the structure(s) of the product(s) for the reactions below, and be sure to indicate any relative stereochemistry (you can assume that each of the Diels-Alder reactions will proceed with endo selectivity). Draw out relevant enantiomer(s) if they are expected to form. If no reaction is expected to occur under the indicated conditions, then write "no reaction" or NR, and explain why you would expect nothing to occur. If more than one product is formed, please indicate which one will be the major product or if they will be formed in equal amounts. In all cases, equimolar amounts of both components/reagents are present unless indicated otherwise .
