What do I have to draw if there is no reaction? It marks blank as incorrect
**Prelecture, Question 10**

- **Feedback:** Your answer is partially correct. Try again.

- **Prompt:** Determine the substitution product.

  **Chemical Reaction:**
  
  A hexagon, representing a cyclohexane ring, has a side chain where bromine (Br) is attached. The bromine is located at the end of an alkyl group extending from the cyclohexane ring. 

  This compound is subjected to a reaction with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) under heat, leading to an unknown product represented by a question mark (?). 

- **Options Section:**
  
  An editable answer box is available with an option labeled "Edit" in green.

  A checkbox option labeled "no reaction" is present.

- **Additional Links:**
  
  - "Open Show Work" for detailed solution steps.
  - Three navigational buttons labeled "LINK TO TEXT."
