Answer:

$H_{3}C$ -- $H_{3}C$ -- $CH_{3}$ --Br-- $CH_{3}$

Explanation:

The steps involved in predicting the structure of the alkyl bromide compound are outlined below.

1) An examination of the product shows that the product could only be formed by a substitution reaction.

2) The structure of the alkyl bromide compound can be then predicted by replacing the methoxide group in the product after the substitution of bromine atom. This is because the methoxide ion acts as a strong nucleophile.

Therefore, by consideration the reaction mechanisms of reactions 1 and 2, it can be predicted that the structure of the alkyl bromide compound is $H_{3}C$ -- $H_{3}C$ -- $CH_{3}$ --Br-- $CH_{3}$ . A pictorial diagram of the alkyl bromide compound is also attached.
