Title: Drawing Structural Formulas for Reaction Products

---

**Problem Statement:**

Draw structural formulas for the products of the reaction shown below.

**Chemical Reaction:**

Reactants:
- A cyclic ether: Cyclohexane ring with a methoxy substituent (CH₃ connected to an oxygen atom), and a butyl group (CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃) connected via an ether linkage.
- Hydrogen bromide (HBr).

Reaction Type: Likely acid-catalyzed ether cleavage with HBr.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The reactant is a six-membered cyclohexane ring with two groups:
1. On the left, there's a methoxy group (O-CH₃) attached to the ring.
2. On the right, the oxygen (O) connects to a propyl side chain (CH₂CH₂CH₃).

Expect the cleavage of the ether bond to form two products: an alcohol and an alkyl bromide.
