Question

 Provide the major organic product for each of the following reactions.

**Chemical Reaction Example**

**Reactants:**
- **Methanethiol (CH₃SH)**

**Reagents and Conditions:**
1. **Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)**
   
**Reaction:**

The reactant methanethiol (CH₃SH) undergoes a reaction in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The product formed here is not specified but is related to the cyclic structure shown in the diagram.

**Diagrams and Explanation:**

- **Reactant Structure:** CH₃SH

- **Reagent:** NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide)

- **Target Product:**
  This is a cyclic compound as indicated by the hexagonal ring structure. The specific diagram shows a six-membered cyclic structure with a wedge indicating a substituent coming out of the plane of the ring, and a dashed line indicating a substituent going behind the plane of the ring.

  The product structure contains:
  - A six-membered ring (cyclohexane derivative)
  - Two substituents attached to adjacent carbon atoms:
    - One substituent is an oxygen atom (O) shown as a solid wedge, which indicates it is coming out of the plane.
    - The other substituent (structure not visible in the figure but indicated) appears to be attached as a dashed wedge, implying it goes behind the plane of the ring.

**g.** (labeling in the figure, indicating this is part "g" of a series of reactions or problems in a larger context).
