**Educational Content:**

**Reaction Analysis**

The image shows a chemical reaction with the following components:

Starting Material:
- A molecule with a tosylate group attached to a carbon chain. The structure indicates the presence of a stereocenter at the carbon to which the tosylate group (OTs) is attached.
- The chemical structure includes a methyl group (CH₃) attached to a sulfonyl group (SO₂) adjacent to an F (fluorine) atom extending from the carbon chain.

Reactant:
- Sodium bromide (NaBr).

Reaction:
- The arrow suggests a nucleophilic substitution reaction, where NaBr is expected to replace the tosylate group with a bromine atom in the substrate.

**Product Analysis**

The question posed asks: "What is one of the two products of the reaction below?"

Options provided:
1. 1-Fluoro-(S)-3-bromopentane
2. 1-(R)-3-dibromopentane
3. 1-Fluoro-(R)-3-bromopentane
4. None of the suggested names are a correct product.

**Graph/Diagram Explanation**

The diagram shows the chemical structure of the starting material with numbering and relevant groups identified, forming a basis for understanding the possible stereochemistry at the reaction site. The expected product involves substitution at the stereocenter, suggesting a potential change in configuration.
