While we expect to get one major product, this reaction could potentially have some issues with formation of multiple products. What is the relationship between the two major products that you might expect for the reaction of E-stilbene and dimethyl fumarate? Why will this not matter when you look at the NMR?

3) While we expect to get one major product, this reaction could potentially have some issues with formation of multiple products. What is the relationship between the two major products that you might expect for the reaction of E-stilbene and dimethyl fumarate? Why will this not matter when you look at the NMR? 4) In addition to the issue raised in prelab Q3, 2,3-dihydrofuran and styrene will also give give two additional major products – what is their relationship, and will this matter when you look at the NMR?
