b) Write the chemical equation and mechanism of pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement.

The pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement is a classic organic reaction that involves the rearrangement of a pinacol (1,2-diol) into a ketone (pinacolone). This rearrangement is catalyzed by acid and typically occurs under acidic conditions.

The general chemical equation for the pinacol-pinacolone rearrangement is:

\[ \text{RCH(OH)-C(OH)R'} \xrightarrow[\text{Acid}]{\text{Heat}} \text{RC(O)R'} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
