Ring Expansion Problem

I did a write up of the mechanism for problem 12c on page 425 in ChemSketch. I hope this helps!


If you have any questions about this mechanism, please post a comment!
 
 
 
Edit: I just looked at the answer for this mechanism in the solutions manual, and the only difference is that instead of writing H-Br in the first step, they use H3O. This makes sense because H-Br is a strong acid, which means it would completely dissociate in water.
