Predict the major organic product for the following reactions.

**Transcription of Chemical Reactions:**

1. **First Reaction:**
   - **Reactants:** 
     - 6-membered cyclic diketone
     - Formaldehyde (O=CH2)
   - **Conditions:** NaOH (sodium hydroxide), heat (Δ)
   - **Arrow indicating a reaction takes place.**

2. **Second Reaction:**
   - **Reactants:** 
     - 6-membered cyclic ketone with a methyl group attached 
   - **Reagents:** H₃O⁺ (hydronium ion), Br₂ (bromine)
   - **Arrow indicating a reaction takes place.**

3. **Third Reaction:**
   - **Reactants:** 
     - 6-membered cyclic ketone with a methyl group attached 
   - **Reagents:** NaOH (sodium hydroxide), Br₂ (excess)
   - **Conditions:** H₂O (water)
   - **Arrow indicating a reaction takes place.**

**Description of Diagrams:**

- The diagrams depict chemical structures of cyclic ketones undergoing reactions, highlighting changes in functional groups and reagents used to achieve specific chemical transformations. Each reaction is illustrated with a starting molecule, reagents, and conditions demonstrating the pathway for the synthesis process.
