Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the type of reaction taking place. For example, determine if it is an addition, substitution, elimination, or oxidation-reduction reaction. This will help predict the products.
Analyze the reactant structure provided in the image. Look for functional groups, double or triple bonds, and other key features that will influence the reaction.
Determine the reagents or conditions (if provided) that are driving the reaction. These will help you understand how the reactant is transformed into the product.
Draw the condensed structural formula or line-angle formula for the product(s) based on the reaction mechanism. Ensure that all atoms and bonds are accounted for, and the product adheres to the rules of valency.
Double-check the product structure for accuracy. Verify that the number of atoms and bonds in the product matches the reactant, and ensure that the product is consistent with the reaction type and conditions.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Condensed Structural Formula
A condensed structural formula is a way of representing a chemical compound that shows the arrangement of atoms and the connectivity between them without depicting all the bonds explicitly. It typically groups atoms together to indicate how they are bonded, making it easier to visualize the structure of the molecule in a compact form.

Line-Angle Formula
A line-angle formula, also known as a skeletal formula, is a simplified representation of organic molecules where vertices represent carbon atoms and lines represent bonds. This method omits hydrogen atoms attached to carbons, making it easier to depict larger molecules and their structures without clutter, focusing on the connectivity of the carbon backbone.

Chemical Reaction Products
Chemical reaction products are the substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction. Understanding the reactants and the conditions under which a reaction occurs is crucial for predicting the products, which can be represented using structural formulas to illustrate their molecular structure and composition.
