Question
**Question 17 of 21**

Curved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Follow the arrows to predict the product of this reaction. Include all lone pairs. Use wedges and dashes to indicate stereochemistry. Ignore inorganic byproducts.

**Diagram Description:**

A chemical structure is shown depicting a reaction. On the left, a methoxide ion (CH₃O⁻) is shown with three lone pairs on oxygen and a negative charge. A blue curved arrow extends from the lone pair on the oxygen to a carbon atom on a six-membered carbon chain.

On the right side of the chain, there is a carbon bonded to a hydrogen and a methyl group (CH₃) in a wedge shape, and a bromine atom (Br) with a lone pair and a blue curved arrow pointing towards it from the C-Br bond, indicating the departure of the bromine as a leaving group.

The reaction involves nucleophilic attack by the methoxide ion on the carbon atom adjacent to the bromine, resulting in the displacement of the bromine ion.

Below the diagram, a black arrow points downward, indicating there's more to the content or that a response is expected from the user. The text on the right asks to select a drawing or reagent from the question area.
