Since different cycloadducts may provide different response from the detector of the GC, an equimolar amount of two different cycloadducts may not provide exactly a 1:1 ratio of peak areas on the GC integration. Thus, an equimolar amount of each cycloadduct was injected into the GC and their integration areas were compared. These numbers were then used to correct for the product ratios.
