Q56. In the above reaction, left hand side and right hand side rings are named as ‵A′ and ‵B′ respectively. They undergo ring expansion. The correct statement for this process is: (1) Ring expansion can go upto seven membered (2) Finally both rings will become six membered rings each. (3) Finally both rings will become five membered (4) Only A will become 6 membered. each.
What This Question Tests
This question delves into advanced organic reaction mechanisms, specifically carbocation-mediated ring expansion, requiring an understanding of carbocation stability and migratory aptitudes to predict the final ring size.
