ARIS Problems

1. Write all the possible stereoisomers that could result from the Diels-Alder reaction of (E,E)-2,4-hexadiene with cis-2-butenedinitrile (cis-1,2-dicyanoethylene).

Given the preference for endo addition and minimizing steric hindrance, predict the major product(s). Would this product be described as racemic, achiral, or optically active?
