Draw the alcohol starting material needed to produce the following alkyl chloride under the conditions shown. Use wedge and dash bonds to indicate stereochemistry where appropriate.

 

### Transcription of the Image for Educational Purposes

The image presents a chemical reaction schema involving an alcohol reactant. Here's a detailed description:

1. **Alcohol Reactant Box:**
   - At the top of the image, there is a dashed rectangular box labeled "Draw Alcohol Reactant." This indicates that the specific alcohol reactant structure should be drawn here.

2. **Reaction Arrows and Conditions:**
   - A downward arrow points from the box to the reaction conditions.
   - The reaction involves **SOCl₂** (thionyl chloride) and **pyridine**. These are the reagents used for the transformation of the alcohol reactant.

3. **Product Structure:**
   - The final structure at the bottom of the image is a chlorinated hydrocarbon.
   - The product is displayed with a chlorine (Cl) atom attached to a carbon chain, signifying the replacement of the hydroxyl group (OH) of the alcohol with a chlorine atom.

This image illustrates the conversion of alcohols to alkyl chlorides using SOCl₂ and pyridine, a common method in organic chemistry for nucleophilic substitution reactions. The structure should be completed by drawing the appropriate alcohol reactant to showcase the process fully.
