Question
Explanation:
The given reaction is a dehydration reaction that proceeds with ring expansion.
The mechanism of reaction is shown with the help of diagram below:
In the above reaction, the reagent used is conc. H2SO4 ,which is a dehydrating agent.
In the first step H+ is released by reagent which gets attached to OH group forming H2O as seen in the reaction above. H2O being a weak base is good leaving group , hence moving out. While the four-membered ring expands to a five-membered more stable ring via ring expansion.
Final Answer :
The product of given reaction, is thus shown as below:
