organic chemistry - Why is Diels–Alder adduct exo when we leave it for a while?


Recently we did an experiment of Diels–Alder reaction and we left the adduct overnight. I've read a paper of Woodward that says the adduct of Diels–Alder thought to be endo, whereas in our experiment it turned out to be exo.
