Predict the product

The image shows a chemical reaction diagram. - **Reactant Structure**: The structure at the start consists of a zigzag line representing a carbon chain, possibly with additional substituents or bonds based on context not visible directly. - **Arrow and Reagents**: An arrow points from the structure to the right, indicating the direction of the reaction. Above the arrow, it is labeled with "NBS, ROOR." Below the arrow, it is marked with "hv," which stands for photochemical conditions (light). **Explanation**: - **NBS (N-Bromosuccinimide)** is a brominating agent used in organic chemistry, often for allylic or benzylic bromination. - **ROOR** represents a generic peroxide, often used as a radical initiator in the reaction. - **hv (Light)** indicates the use of ultraviolet or visible light to initiate the reaction. This setup suggests a radical halogenation process typically used to introduce a bromine atom into an organic molecule at the allylic or benzylic position.
