Let us simplify $$ \sin(-x) \csc x $$ step by step.

1. We know that the sine function is odd, so:
   $$
   \sin(-x) = -\sin x
   $$
   
2. The cosecant function is the reciprocal of the sine function:
   $$
   \csc x = \frac{1}{\sin x}
   $$
   
3. Substitute these into the original expression:
   $$
   \sin(-x) \csc x = (-\sin x) \cdot \frac{1}{\sin x}
   $$
   
4. Simplify the expression by canceling $$\sin x$$ (assuming $$\sin x \neq 0$$):
   $$
   (-\sin x) \cdot \frac{1}{\sin x} = -1
   $$
   
Thus, the simplified expression is:
$$
-1
$$
The simplified expression is $$-1$$.
