### Organic Chemistry Reaction - Educational Exercise

**Question 4: Draw the alkyl bromide which reacts with (A) to produce the shown product.**

**Description:**

The exercise displays a reaction where compound (A) is converted into a specified product through a reaction with an unidentified alkyl bromide. 

- **Reactant (A):** The image shows a compound labeled as (A), which is ethyl benzoate, represented as a benzene ring attached to an ester group (benzoyl group).
- **Arrow Notation:** An arrow points from (A) to the right, indicating the conversion of reactant (A) to the product.
- **Product:** The product structure shown is ethyl hexanoate, which consists of a benzene ring connected to an ester group, which in turn is connected to a hexyl chain (C7H14O2).

**Task:**

Identify and draw the structure of the alkyl bromide that would react with compound (A) to form the specified product.

**Explanation of Diagram:**

- **Reactant (A):** Benzoyl group connected to an ethyl group, labeled as (A).
- **Reaction Arrow:** Indicates a transformation from reactant (A) to the product.
- **Product Structure:** Contains a benzene ring connected to an ester group which is further connected to a six-carbon alkyl chain.

To solve the problem, recognize that the transformation requires an alkyl bromide where the alkyl group complements the transformation to yield a final six-carbon chain attached to the ester benzene ring.

The required alkyl bromide should be 1-bromohexane (C6H13Br).
