NOOOOOOOO..........

HINT:Ring is formed..

1-hydroxy-1-Methyl-cyclobutane

priyam give me the reaction mechanism

i dont believe it !!!!!!! A genius is is surprised about his answer !!!!!!
Yes Priyam u r right......tell me the mechanism....

ok..

just drawing the mechanism

wait for 5 mins..

ok....waiting

It is now ready to serve although without garnishing :P

after 1st step it forms something called grignard reagent i think..

Then an intramolecular electrophilic attack then with treatment with H⁺ form alcohol..

Note: the negative charge might have attacked other molecule of reagent to give............................(fill in the blanks :P) but as entropy change is favourable in intramolecular attack although ring strain opposes its formation..

so a mixture will be there..

thankssssss
