The elusive <i>endo</i>-product of the archetypal Diels-Alder reaction of furan and maleic anhydride - observed in the solid state at last.

While the magnitude of the energies involved is small compared to the uncertainty and the predicted transition temperature is thus not expected to be quantitatively accurate, a clear trend is observed in behaviour with respect to temperature that agrees qualitatively with experimental observations.
