Draw the structure of the major monohalo product for each of the following reactions: 
Draw the structure of the major monohalo product for each of the following reactions:
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
The reaction is a heat-induced bromination, yielding a benzylic bromination product. Specifically, a bromine atom substitutes the hydrogen on the benzylic carbon (adjacent to the benzene ring), forming 1-bromo-2-phenylethane as the primary product. The product's structure is:
\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{CH}_2\text{CH}_2\text{Br} \]
