**Reaction Prediction Exercise**

**3. Predict-the-Product**

Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) formed in the following reactions.

**a. Reaction Details:**

- **Starting Material:** The compound shown is an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde.
- **Reagents:**
  - Methoxide ion (\( \text{CH}_3\text{O}^- \))
  - Methanol (\( \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \))

**Description of Diagram:**

The diagram shows an aldehyde that contains a carbonyl group (C=O) with a conjugated system extending through a double bond to a longer carbon chain. The methoxide ion, in the presence of methanol, acts as a nucleophile and base which may result in various potential reactions, depending on the conditions provided. The reaction setup suggests potential nucleophilic addition or possibly an aldol condensation, depending on the subsequent steps. The product structure is to be determined and drawn in the space provided.
