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.
