**Title: Understanding Stereochemistry in Organic Reactions**

**Objective:**

Draw the main organic products of the reaction. Indicate the stereochemistry, including all hydrogen atoms, at each stereocenter. Omit byproducts such as salts or methanol.

**Reaction Overview:**

- The reaction involves a cyclohexane derivative with a bromine (Br) atom and adjacent hydrogen atoms attached.
- Reactants: 
  - Cyclohexane with Br and two hydrogen atoms
  - Sodium methoxide (\( CH_3ONa \))
  - Methanol (\( CH_3OH \))

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Left Diagram:** 
  - Depicts a cyclohexane with a substituent Br atom on one carbon. 
  - The stereochemistry shows Br on a wedge (indicating above the plane), and two adjacent hydrogen atoms shown with a wedge and a dash (above and below the plane, respectively).
  
- **Right Diagram:**
  - Shows the expected product as a cyclohexane ring where Br is replaced, but the drawing lacks stereochemical detail which is necessary to mark the stereocenters.
  - The product should ideally show detailed stereochemistry at each relevant carbon.

**Instruction Clarification:**

The goal is to indicate stereochemistry accurately by:
- Drawing all hydrogen atoms at stereocenters.
- Explicitly showing three-dimensional arrangements (using wedges and dashes) to illustrate spatial orientation.

**Error Noted:**

The product diagram in the image is marked "incorrect" due to a lack of stereochemical detail required in the instructions. Ensure proper stereochemistry is used when drawing organic structures. 

**Conclusion:**

Accurate depiction of stereochemistry is crucial in understanding organic reactions and their products. Ensure to denote three-dimensional configurations clearly to reflect realistic molecular conformations in your drawings.
