Products from Diels-Alder Cycloaddition Reactions

Draw the major product from each of the Diels-Alder reactions shown below. Do not indicate configurations of possible stereoisomers.
To draw a formula use the drawing window opened by the Draw Formulas button. Do not draw hydrogen atoms. When you are finished, Submit your formula and then check it by pressing the Check Molecule button. A help screen is available for the drawing window.
You must also count the number of new stereogenic centers (asymmetric centers) created in the reaction. Enter a number from 0 to 9 in the appropriate answer box.

A response to your answer will appear in the evaluation window to the right.
