An apology, sometimes due to lack of time or consideration my explanations tend to be somewhat hasty and perhaps far from the detail that is sought so here it goes again.
The first step is the protonation of the alcohol, this is carried out when an unbonded lone pair interacts with a hydrogen from sulfuric acid, this reaction can be classified as a Brönsted Acid-Base reaction. Subsequently, a dissociation takes place, breaking the link
CO, heterolytically in favor of oxygen, leaving carbon with a fewer pair of electrons, and therefore a positive charge, this species is known as a carbocation, remember that these species will be formed based on their stability, in this case it is a tertiary carbocation, however it is found in a spirocyclic system, which is highly stressed by the bond angles between the carbons and hydrogens present in the structure.
Subsequently, that carbocation is rearranged, this is carried out through a transition state, that is, the exact point where a bond is broken, between the carbons.
ab and the bond between the carbons
bc it forms. This rearrangement has made carbon
c recover the pair of electrons that it was missing when forming a new bond, in this way it returns to being neutral while carbon
to it has lost a pair of electrons, causing it to now have a positive charge, i.e., roughly speaking, the carbocation has transposed from carbon
c to carbon
to.
The new carbocation promotes a removal of a hydrogen from the adjacent carbon, resulting in the final product.
