Ring Contraction Rearrangements in SN1Reactions Explained

Learn how to draw the mechanism for ring contraction rearrangements in SN1 reactions. They aren't as hard as you think! The presence of a carbocation intermediate can lead to all sorts of rearrangement products but this one really seems to give students a hard time. I'll break it down for you so you can apply it to other systems.
