Question
**Question 8 of 28**

**Title:** SN2 Reaction Product

**Instructions:**

Draw the product of the SN2 reaction shown below. Ignore inorganic byproducts.

**Reaction Details:**

- **Reactant Structure:** A linear chain with a hydroxyl group (HO) on the left end and a bromine atom (Br) on the right end.
- **Reagents:** 
  - NaOH
  - Acetonitrile
  
**Diagram Details:**

There's an arrow pointing downward beneath the reactants and reagents, indicating the direction of the reaction. Below the arrow, there's a red dashed box labeled "Drawing" for where the product should be illustrated.

**Guidance:**

Recognize the SN2 mechanism involves a backside attack by the nucleophile, leading to the substitution of the bromine atom with the nucleophile. Consider drawing the expected product within the space provided.
