The expected melting point range of the Diels Alder product is 237-239^oC. We did not purify the product in the Diels Alder reaction, would you expect the melting point range to be higher or lower than the ideal mp. How can you fix the difference in mp? Please answer them all

DIenophile mass: N-methylmaleimide 0.11g

Dienee mass: Anthracene-9-methanol 0.08g

Mass of Anthracene-N-Methylmaleimide = 0.090g (product)

MP of the Anthracene-N-Methylmaleimide = 218-219 degree Celsius
