Question

Propose a mechanism for the reaction shown below:

Expert Solution

Step 1

Firstly, the proton abstraction by the oxygen atom of the -OH group will occur. This will lead to the formation good leaving group. The H₂O will leave by the intramolecular rearrangement reaction. The mechanism for this is shown below.

Step 2

Now, the alkyl group will migrate. The bulkier group will migrate first and then the chloride ion will attack to positively charge carrying carbon atom. The reaction mechanism of this reaction is mentioned below.
