    In pinacol-pinacolone, to form a stable carbocation, generally, a methyl or a hydride shift occurs. But for this shift, the migratory group has to be in anti to the leaving group. In the taken compound, the methyl shift can't occur, as it is not in the anti position w.r.t the leaving group H2O. But a more stable carbocation is formed adjacent to the −OH group (like this, −C+H(Me) −OH), if the bond migration occurs, and due to this bond migration, a ring contraction occurs, and the product which is expected to form theoretically is also verified to be produced experimentally. A possible mechanism for this beautiful reaction is shown below.
