Cyclobutyl bromide on treatment with magnesium in dry ether forms an organometallic (A). The organometallic (A) reacts with ethanal to give an alcohol (B) after mild acidification. Prolonged treatment of alcohol (B) with an equivalent amount of HBr gives 1-bromo-1-methyl cyclopentane (C). Write the structures of (A),(B) and explain how (C) is obtained from (B)
